ABOUT
THE BOOK

David Asquith is a bumptious, preposterous rogue, yet as the rest of the world slides into financial ruin he plans a radiant pathway to personal success and universal happiness. The catalyst for his miraculous transformation is a chance meeting with a young woman called Daisy, beginning a chain of unlikely events that sees him quickly develop from pathetic failure to, in his eyes, a highly successful and brilliant entrepreneur and self-styled public benefactor.
