Here are some quotes from Chris Barton's friends and family when they found out he was writing a book: "What the Hell are you writing a book for? Nobody reads nowadays." "Who is going to buy it?" "I hope I am not in it..." So here it is: 'Beautifully Mundane', the story of David Banks, husband, father, normal everyday guy who is never going to change the world, or climb a mountain, or even go into space, but through whose eyes we can see that there is joy to be had in the normal complexities of everyday life. We follow his journey as he takes his family away on holiday to Cornwall, and we discover how much like David Banks we all are and that the mundane is not something we should be ashamed of but we can shout from the rooftops with pride. Oh and by the way it is funny too!!
