Wonderful! I started reading this with my early morning cuppa and couldn't stop, making me late letting out the hens and feeding the ponies. I'm only half way through, and if I start reading again I won't get anything else done this morning.

I wasn't sure if I'd posted it before but if I had it doesn't harm to have it in Rare Texts twice!

This is one of the most interesting articles I have ever read,like one of the earlier comments I couldn't stop reading it,a very full and memorable life,and a story worth the telling. Now I know more about a stranger than my own family, but he doesn't feel a stranger there is an afinity there.

12/06/2018: Although voluntarily given, the memoir has been deleted at the request of the original authors daughter.

And generated a lot of admin emails! Ah well, at least we had the benefit.
