A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Alan Grainger is an Englishman who emigrated to Ireland at the time when everyone else seemed to be going the other way. He got seduced by the lifestyle, married an Irish woman and never went back. They have three children and seven grandchildren. Since retiring, other than when he s watching rugby or cricket, he has been travelling, painting and writing. His travels have taken him all over the world, provided him with much of the background material that features in his books, and allowed him to choose authentic sets against which he can tell his stories. They should also have inspired him to paint great landscapes but, for reasons not obvious to him, his paintings almost always turn out of be pictures of stones! He started writing after a trip to the head waters of the Amazon, during which he and his wife lived for a week in a hut in a remote part of the rain forest. You should write a book about it. his friends said when he came back, so he did. It s entitled The Tree that Walked . This was followed by: The Klondike Chest, a spoof biographical story of the author s grandfather s part in the last Great Gold Rush; It s Only Me, the author s own autobiography and The Rumstick Book of children s fairy stories and comic poems. After these came a trilogy of three novels: the first, The Learning Curves, is a rags to riches story; the second, Father Unknown, concerns the hunt by an adoptee for his natural parents; and the third, The Legacy, follows the search made by a brother and sister for a valuable unclaimed estate to which they have been told they may have rights. Some characters and a country town in Tipperary link the books. His latest novel, Blood On The Stones, is story of two boys who, having been brought up as brothers fall out over a woman, carve out a life in Secret Intelligence Services and eventually come together again to foil a plot to ignite a new Middle Eastern war.
