My first book, a biography of the great Liverpool comedian, Robb Wilton, has recently been published and has already attracted favourable comments.

Social historian, Eric Midwinter, author of the classic appreciation of Britain's greatest comedians, Make 'Em Laugh, reviewed the book in the October 2018 edition of Call Boy (journal of the British Music Hall Society)

"Remarkably, Tom Preston's first book is also the first biography of Robb Wilton - and it is a conspicuously fine piece of work, meticulous and thorough in its research, compact and orderly in its presentation, discreet and sensible in its judgements.

What a relief! Robb Wilton merited excellent biographical handling - and he has received it."
