Garry (Douglas) Kilworth is a varied and prolific writer who has travelled widely since childhood, living in a number of countries, especially in the Far East. His books include science fiction and fantasy, historical novels, literary novels, short story collections, children's books and film novelisations.
This autobiography contains anecdotes about his farm worker antecedents and his rovings around the globe, as well as his experiences in the middle list of many publishing houses. The style is chatty, the structure loose - pole vaulting time and space on occasion - and the whole saga is an entertaining ramble through a 1950s childhood, foreign climes and the genre corridors of the literary world.

Product ReviewVery interesting autobiography of the wonderful writer of science fiction, fantasy, horror, historic military fiction, children's animal novels, and much else. Kilworth grew up, lived, and traveled all over the world, but his is also a very English take on how to live life to the fullest. Definitely recommended as a fireside, unhurried read.
