I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and AuthorHouse for an honest review.

Estelle Craig is a hundred years old and is here to tell you her story. Don't worry, she still has her memory - she remembers her own name, what happened to her today, yesterday, and what happened in her life 10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90 years ago. There is a certain amount of repetition, though somewhat less than might be expected in a memoir like this one here.

Craig tells of her life in New York city, New England, West Virginia, and Toronto. Being a women's interest columnist in West Virginia, performing in radios and in plays; and spending 41 years presenting entertaining speakers for the people of Toronto through the World Adventure Tours.

Also mentions of how she noticed older people (barely able to walk old people) attempting to stumble around on tours and trips. And knew that she didn't that for herself. She wanted to tour now. Not put it off. So she did. Becoming something of a world traveller - being one of the first to visit China when they allowed people in; sitting in the desert looking up at the pyramids; being in Rome at the same time Elizabeth Taylor was there and, on something of a whim, decides to attempt to interview her (previously established in the book is the part wherein Estelle Craig had sold interviews and the like to the Canadian radio .. . um . . Canadian Broadcasting Company?), and having a tour of the set.

Craig has done a lot in her long life, and she has some interesting stories to tell in this book here (and in her two other books, though that's by assumption, since I haven't read more than a sample for one of them - the sample was interesting enough that I ended up reading this book here).
