G R Hewitt

I was born in England and have lived and worked in France and Ireland for the last few years; now resident in Ireland. My interests are many and varied and in particular I’m interested in old valve radios, machinery and design from the 1930’s, for which I have a strange nostalgia, though I was never there. I trained as a printer (compositor) with a flair for typography and graphic design and was able to use these skills in other varied employment after leaving the printing industry. Though I have written manuals, pamphlets, posters, adverts and other paraphernalia, I have never written a book. Until now that is, in the form of children’s picture books, which I co-wrote and illustrated – 'The Frightened Little Flower Bud'. and 'Hat'.
