David was born in London. Soon afterwards his family
moved to Marlow, a small town beside the River Thames. Marlow
has literary connections: it is where Mary Shelley finished
writing her scary story about Dr Frankenstein and his monster
(Level 5: Frankenstein),
and where Montmorency, the dog in Three
Men in a Boat (Level 5) had a spectacular fight
with the town cat. Leaving school at 16, David worked as
a bank clerk for a while, did two years of military service
(compulsory in those days) and then, after training, became
a secondary school teacher (History and English). In 1967
he moved to Hong Kong. He came for two years but liked the
place so much that he stayed for another thirty. He has
now returned to England, and lives in one of the smaller
villages on the Norfolk coast, where he spends his leisure
time, he says, 'enjoying the delights of nature, especially
when the north wind is blowing!' |
