Anyone who has come under the spell of THE MINACK CHRONICLES will have longed to know more about their author Derek Tangye and his wife Jeannie Nichol Tangye. In the early 1930s Derek Tangye was a "deb's delight", seen with many young socialites. Then, working in Fleet Street, he saw the other side of life. Then he met Jean Nichol, head of public relations for the Savoy Hotel Group, and their subsequent marriage proved a true meeting of minds. Their decision to abandon London for a rustic way of life led to the writing of THE MINACK CHRONICLES and established Minack as a haven for Derek's readers Suffused with a sense of destiny, TANGYE is a dual biography of two strong individuals.
