The Great Work

Thomas Lyons started life as a proper young 'British' gentleman-even though he was Irish. Then, he tasted the world and its many cultures. The Great Work is a series of charming vignettes describing Tom's life and experiences from early school days, to international educator, to story-telling grandpa. It is as much a history book as a memoir. His adventures take place mainly in The British Isles, Europe, North America, and the tropics, at a time before computers shrunk the world. The stories are filled with love, humour, and heart-warming tales of his contributions to developing minds of all ages. Though now retired, there is no doubt that Thomas Lyons is still taking The Scenic Route Through Life. If you want to be inspired by a life well lived, read on.
