  Michael Green's autobiography continues with Nobody Hurt in Small Earthquake , which takes its name from the winning entry in a competition the staff of The Times ran to find the most boring headline. Covering the years from the end of the Second World War to the success of his first book, The Art of Course Rugby , it continues where The Boy Who Shot Down an Airship left off and is a nostalgic account of his life.

  This second part of Michael Green's memoirs gives an account of working as a journalist in an austere post-war Britain. He describes a succession of bed-sits and badly paid jobs on provincial newspapers interspersed with bouts of heavy drinking, amateur dramatics, rugby and cricket. His break into Fleet Street and a disastrous first foray into television finally end in the publication of a bestseller called The Art of Coarse Rugby .
