INTRODUCTION, November 2016
Nearly three years have passed since I wrote The Twenty-Five Deeds of Hanson Drake. Three years, and more than eight million readers. Three years, and more than a million letters and emails sent from people around the world asking questions about Hanson Drake's life.
What can I possibly tell them? Tell you?
BLURB
Hanson Drake has five hundred million in the bank and a house on the beach overlooking the ocean. As the writer of the world's favourite song, he hasn't had to do a day's work in his life.
Stung into action by a derisive article in a national newspaper, Hanson Drake decides to change his life by becoming a volunteer at a country house.He vows to do at least one good deed every day in the twenty-four days leading up to Christmas, hoping to secure salvation and redemption for his wasteful life.
In helping others--and learning to celebrate the ordinariness and eccentricities of the people he meets--he finally understands his place in the universe.
But what does fate have planned for Hanson Drake?
BACKGROUND
In 2004, the singer and actor David Bowie suffered a minor, but not trivial, heart attack while on stage at the Hurricane Festival in Germany he completed the performance, but subsequently underwent emergency surgery in Hamburg to treat an acutely blocked coronary artery.

REVIEWS
Simply terrific.
★★★★★
An astonishingly moving journey from start to finish.
★★★★★
A beautiful, wonderful, wondrous novel.
★★★★★
Beautiful. Brilliant. Moving. Joyful.
★★★★★
A wonderful book about kindness. And the death of David Bowie?
★★★★★
Fantastic read. Fantastic characters. Fantastic book.
★★★★★
HANSON DRAKE tickles the soft underbelly of the British middle classes. There's something reminiscent of Jerome K. Jerome or P. G. Wodehouse in Briar Kit Esme's gently comic writing.
★★★★★
The loveliest and the best novel I've read, without question.
★★★★★
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. And once more, wonderful.
★★★★★
Brilliantly conceived and beautifully written.
★★★★★
A triumph of modern English literature.
★★★★★
A life-enhancing, life-changing masterpiece.
★★★★★
Was sceptical about all the five-star reviews before I read the book. Not sceptical any longer. Now a fully fledged evangelist. You took me into another world, and I just want to stay there.
★★★★★
Highly enjoyable and thought provoking. And highly, highly recommended.
★★★★★
I thought I knew exactly how the book was going to end. I was so wrong.
★★★★★
Deceptively simple. It was only when I reached the final chapters that I realised just how deep and perceptive a novel HANSON DRAKE really is.
★★★★★
We finally have a Christmas character capable of knocking Scrooge off his festive perch.
★★★★★
No other story has made me feel this good about myself, let alone about humanity as a whole.
★★★★★
A clever and heartwarming story. I wasn't sure, at first, when I came up against some of the clipped single-word sentences. But the style grew on me. Merged into the norm. And by the first few days of Advent, I was hooked. I loved it. It is one of those seemingly simple tales like 'The Alchemist' which makes you feel good. Great characters, lovely story, and it would make a perfect film, TV series, or radio drama, unless, like so many commissioners of our programmes, you like tales of woe. Nice one.

The TwentyFive Deeds of Hanson Drake edition by Briar Kit Esme Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Is it better to give than to receive? Does one good deed deserve another?
Just the other day I heard about a millionaire who gave at least a thousand dollars to waiters and waitresses as a tip. He said it was his way of serving the Lord one tip at a time!
I believe this delightful novel by Briar Kit Esme is a wonderful and creative example of generosity, doing the right thing at the right time, and passing on the blessings that have been given to us.
Yes, it is better to give than to receive and no good deed goes unnoticed!
This novel is lyrical and definitely something people can hum along with.
Is being rich a blessing or a curse? Is it genius or serendipity? Is it both?
My friends, there is a blessing in wisdom! Having the wisdom to give is something that can make you richer than you could ever imagine.
Jeannie Walker - (Award Winning Author) "I Saw the Light" - A True Story of a Near-Death Experience
This is a great book. Very well written and it's a wonderful Christmas story about the real spirit of giving. I will read this book again and will recommend it to my friends alo.
A wonderful book on how kindness is all about the small acts and not necessarily Big Bang! Reminded me of my Mom whose small acts of kindness made a huge difference to people around her.
I absolutely loved the message in this book. I plan to read it again soon.
