ACCLAIMED-AMUSING-INTERESTING-DOCTOR LARK

This is Bill with his wife Maria on the terrace of their home in Provence about to sample a glass of Cotes du Rhone Villages rouge.

DOCTOR LARK is Bill Larkworthy, a man with a sharp eye for the humourous side of the human condition. In more than forty years in various countries he treated the great, the good, the fit and the fat, heroes villains and an assortment of oddballs

'DOCTOR LARK - the benefits of a medical education'
 
Bill combines mirth with astute observations for an insider's view of the military, social and medical developments of the last half century.

 A funny and vivid account of how Bill used his medical degree to provide a passport to the world.
