John Sharrock Taylor

About the Author:

John Sharrock Taylor's life began in Wigan, Lancashire, England, in 1946, and what with one thing and another it still goes on to the present day. After a career as a headmaster in England, Latin America, Africa and Asia, he now lives with his wife Val and their dogs Boris (big and soppy) and Biggles (small and hyperactive) in an ancient cortijo in the hills of Andalucia, where the wine is abundant and the neighbours are hospitable. A former cathedral soloist, his choral group has recently sung a fifteenth-century requiem for King Richard III. John owns a cannon, likes olives, boats, history and beer, and dislikes potatoes, flamenco and unfermented fruit.
