"Grover Gardnerinfuses the story with Lefen's passion and creates well-developed

voices for the secondary characters. This upbeat, dramatic story of overcoming odds is a

day-brightener listeners shouldn't overlook."AudioFile



"This book is the inspirational story of the power of art to change lives. Gardner's reading is just as

inspirationalhe even gets sound effects into the story. After listening to Flying Colors, you will

never see a person in a wheelchair in quite the same way."KLIATT



When Tim Lefens walked into the Matheny School in New Jersey to show slides of his paintings, his

one-hour visit became a life-changing experience. The students he met had severe physical challenges:

only one of them could talk, none could walk, and all lacked the use of their hands. As a painter facing

his own gradual loss of eyesight, Tim had come to fully appreciate the power of art, and he was

determined to enable the students to paint despite their physical limitations.



Lefens created breakthrough techniques for these students that gave full, exacting control of the creative

process for such remarkable young artists as Natalia with her brash wit, the brooding Mike with his

Harley-Davidson hat, the mischievous Chet, the passionate cowgirl Cindy, and Angel, the volcanic Latino.



Flying Colors, an immensely inspiring story about leaping over obstacles, reveals the passion and

determination of one man, his student-artists, and their emergence together from a virtual silence to luminous

expression.



Tim Lefens is the founder of A.R.T. (Artistic Realization Techniques) and lives in Belle Mead, New Jersey.

Anecdotes, jokes, poems and sketches from the ever-entertaining Pam Ayres

Writer, poet and broadcaster Pam Ayres has been making her fans smile for more than thirty years since her first television appearance on Opportunity Knocks. This recording is taken from four of Pam's live shows for her BBC Radio 4 series Ayres On The Air, and is packed with her usual mix of comic poetry, prose and droll observations on life.

Pam Ayres has recently been 'rediscovered' via her appearances on Radio 4's just a Minute, That Reminds Me and Loose Ends, and Ayres On The Air has been celebrated on both Pick of the Week and Feedback. She regularly tours both the UK and abroad, performing to sell-out audiences.

Here, Pam can be heard delighting her public on such topics as holidays, families, ageing and country living. With sketches about being 'Topless at 60', getting shingles up the Orinoco and the joys of buying a tractor; and poems including 'The Wonderbra', 'Littering', 'Poor Dad' and 'The Voice at the Foot of the Stairs', this collection showcases one of the nation's most popular poets at her very best.
