After education at Eton and in California, he served four years in the British Army before demobilization in 1947. His career has included film project reviewer at Pinewood Studios, aquaculture pioneer, restauranteur, garden designer, and blogger, and residence in London, the Isle of Wight, Provence and currently the US Pacific Northwest. At age 96, he decided to write a novel he describes as ‘a comic, gothic, historical romance’ featuring its enchanting heroine Lady Lucy and a wealth of factual historical interest. He is delighted by the many favorable reviews it has received.voir moins
