About this title

About the Author

Meet the team: two like-minded couples sharing a passion for literature and travel. Following writers is their idea of heaven. Judith Bastide - the principal author, was Head of English at a prestigious South Coast girls school (famous Old Girls include actress Prunella Scales and writer Rumer Godden). Judith is an enthusiastic literary detective who has dragged her long suffering husband and family around the county, tracking its writers. This book should make it easier for fellow addicts. Michael Rich - a retired dentist and an avid reader, he was the collator of the various book chapters. He did proof reading, main editing of the text and corrected typos. He was responsible for liaising with the publishers, taking the photographs, the website and all other IT work. Derek Bastide - a former university lecturer and currently school inspector with many books and articles to his credit. This book would never have been possible without his navigational skills driving his wife, Judith, through the country lanes of Kent. We are very grateful! Gillian Rich - a mathematician and former school librarian. She is the author of several maths text books and is involved with online publishing, as well as being passionate about the arts. Gillian was the originator of this project.
