ABOUT ANDREW SMITH
I remember lying out in my bed and looking at the vast, quiet sky. Right up above my head, there were three stars in a row, and I remember thinking,\'Well, I\'ll have those three stars all my life, and wherever I am, they will be. They are my stars, and they belong to me. Spike Milligan
