1 y separately published work icon Don't Cry for Me : An Autobiography Arthur Leggett , Oldbury : Linellen Press , 2015 18574326 2015 single work autobiography

'The story of Arthur Leggett, a young man growing up in Australia’s developing years, patriotically serving his country in World War II, and surviving four and a half years in the hands of the Germans as a Prisoner of War.

'Australian larrikinism shines throughout Arthur’s journey from boyhood to manhood, through his war ordeals and on into his senior years.

But Life is never over and Arthur plunges headlong into a series of new challenges and adventures, proving Life begins after 60.

'This wonderfully exciting celebration of Life will entertain, inspire and reveal how an ‘ordinary’ man can indeed achieve extra-ordinary things.A must read for every one who seeks adventure.'

'I have endeavoured in this booklet to present poems ranging from boyhood to senior citizenship.

'Some are sentimental, some concern everyday activities, and some are belligerent but they are meant to present a small cross section of Life and Time which, I trust, you will enjoy.' (Publication summary)
