Über den Autor
Richard Brown was born in 1943 the second of four children of a farming family in the west of the old rural county of Huntingdonshire. After education at Kimbolton School, he graduated with a degree in Agriculture from Wye College, London University, in 1966. Within a few years of returning from university he was running the farm, a job he did until retirement, which then gave more time for other pursuits. He started writing at the age of 65 and, after producing several versions of a semi-autobiographical work, commenced Mary Knighton in November 2009. On completion of this epic story he returned to the semi-autobiographical theme and has produced a quartet of shorter pieces; Thisbie, Long Stop, Postman's Knock and Feeding the Pigs. Of these Thisbie and Postman's Knock are complete but the other two are work in progress. They all have a rural theme as in Mary Knighton.
