Author dedication

I would like to pay particular tribute to my wife Jane, who took my febrile notes and turned them into short sentences with appropriate grammar and punctuation for publication. This is the second time she has endured this process in my support.

To Luke and Lucy, Owen and Dalia for being so enthusiastic, and finally to Iolo the Labrador for showing formidable impulse control when my writing ate into his walking time.

To Julia and Di at Critical Publishing for their unfailing support and enthusiasm, without which the book would not have come to fruition.
