The Stars Will Always Shine

The Stars Will Always Shine describes how life has changed in Britain from the 1950s until the present day.

It also details some of my hilarious travel adventures, particularly in America, and contains illustrations of some of my oil paintings.

Two decades of my life were spent fighting the establishment for justice with considerable success, hence my decision to leave the UK in 2010 to live in a remote cabin in Maine, USA.

Bill Cook was born just after the Second World War, growing up on a tough North London council estate littered with bomb craters. He passed the 11th examination and attended a technical grammar school, passing 8 GCE ‘O’ levels. He started work in the city of London when 16 years of age.

His main passion is travelling…and freedom from this authoritarian world in which we all live.
