Quite often somebody will say, 'What year do your books take place?' and the only answer I can give is, in childhood.

When I was a boy, I was taught never to use insulting expressions like, &#39;I&#39;ve been gypped,&#39; or, &#39;He welshed on the deal.&#39;

I must do what no one else is willing to do today!

The difference between travel writing as fiction is the difference between recording what the eye sees and discovering what the imagination knows. Fiction is pure joy - how sad that I could not reinvent the trip as fiction.
