Über den Autor

Francis Bailey and his younger brother Oliver had an unusual upbringing on an urban farm. They both went to a public school at King Williams College in the Isle of Man. Francis went on to have an interesting career in banking, the motor and caravan trades and even paper making. His interest in all things technical eventually led to him settling down to work in local government as an IT manager for many years. He is now retired and lives in Nottingham.
