Authors biography
As a Mother & Son combination, Doreen & Simon Spanyol share similar tastes - for example three years ago each bought the other Antony Beevor’s “Stalingrad” for Christmas.
Doreen began writing weekly letters to Simon when he was at Leeds University in the seventies and he would always share the contents, if not the enclosed Luncheon vouchers, with his friends: “Your father has asked for a Kalashnikov again this Christmas”, “You will like our new Collie puppy, Oliver, he bites people, especially hands & feet but he doesn’t draw blood very often”, “Your brother went on a grant demo to London, you know the one that was on the telly, he saw some Leeds students among the 20,000 there and did a lot of mindless chanting which pleased him”.
Simon’s half of the correspondence is lost to posterity but much of it only consisted of short requests for more luncheon vouchers which he found could be exchanged for beer.
They live in Hertfordshire & Rutland
