It was during a late summer hike through the woods near our home in Weybridge, England, when I first
thought of writing this book about my father. There was a gentle rain falling, not much more than a fine
mist really, and my father and I were wearing our wellies (our rubber Wellington boots). You could smell
the sweet, deep rich earth infused by the rain as we walked along. A pair of tiny robins were happily
splashing away in a puddle just a few feet from us, chirping merrily as they bathed.
I was just twelve years old, and loved those adventures with Dad, and always looked forward to our
times together like this, looking for excitement wherever it might be found. Before the day was over,
the genesis of the book had been formed in my thoughts, and I knew that it was only a matter of time
before pen was put to paper.

| is filled with the memories of a son’s relationship with his father. The stories contain laughter and surprise, suspense and drama, and most importantly, love and commitment. The book recalls the exploits of a wartime dad as a spy with the OSS, and the post- war memories of the havoc wreaked upon an unsuspecting son by his well- meaning father. It reaches across generational barriers and speaks to the hearts of parents and their children. It is an easy read, difficult to put down, and impossible to forget. ~ "Stories that are funny and touching" Sally Stokes, BBC, London ~ "Wonderfully entertaining - a must read for our men and women in the services" Jan Wilson, RAF (Retired), Brighton, UK |
