    CD book, read by Simon Prebble and Barbara Rosenblat (she does the Mamur Zapt stuff). Charlie Trumper is a fruit and vegetable man who rises to a better neighborhood, huge department store, and becomes a lord. It started out promising, but in the end it was just romantic drivel.

One of Jeffrey Archer's masterpieces, AS THE CROW FLIES is the intriguing tale of merchant Charlie Trumper. The grandson of a peddler, Trumper's epic journey out of the poverty of London's East End carries him across three continents and through the triumphs and disasters of the twentieth century.
