Biographie de l'auteur

Born in Banff, David Addison was educated at Aberdeen University and subsequently taught in SW Scotland and the Central belt where he was not allowed to use it any more. He also taught for a time in Montana, and for an even briefer time, in Poland, when the Solidarity movement was at its peak. He is married and has two grown-up children, who, thankfully, have both left home. Having taken early retirement, he spends his time and the children's inheritance by travelling as often as he can and collecting material for his latest book. Travellers beware!
