Bob Little

Bob (aka Robert) Little has pursued several parallel careers – and, in various ways, writing has played a part in all of them. So far, his life path has embraced, among other things:

• a couple of (full-time) professional careers, latterly as a writer and publicist, principally specialising in corporate online learning technologies. That career, pursued since 1990, has taken him – and brought him work – around the world. It still sees his work published in publications in the USA, Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. Says Bob: “‘Perspectives on Learning Technologies’ is a repository of many of the key things I learned about learning technologies. While times and technologies change, people remain human – so, sooner or later, those involved in any way with learning technologies will face the same issues and challenges that others have faced. Hopefully, this book can act as a reference and guide to help readers to avoid at least some of the most obvious pitfalls.”
• a continuing career as a semi-professional singer in the classical tradition. His books in this sphere include: ‘How to get off the Sofa and Sing like a Professional Opera Singer’ and ‘Edgar Evans: Extempore’ – the latter being a biography of Bob’s singing teacher who, for 30 years, was a principal tenor with The Royal Opera, Covent Garden.
• some serious dalliance with playing cricket (Bob’s great sporting love). He’s the compiler and editor of ‘The Marshalswick Baptist Free Church Cricket Yearbook’ series of booklets. A complete series of these booklets can be found in – among other places – the MCC Cricket Library at Lord’s Cricket Ground.
• a soupçon of radio (but also some television) broadcasting.
• a love of history – evidenced in ‘A Perspective on Pendley: A history of Pendley Manor’ and ‘The Canvas Chapel’, his edited account of his father’s experiences as a driver in the Royal Army Service Corps during the Second World War.
• a long-term career as a nationally-recognised preacher within the non-conformist tradition – which began when he was an undergraduate. His experiences and studies in this field have led to ‘Bob’s Exploratory Theological Adventures’, published by the Endless Bookcase in 2022.
