About the author

Gerald Kersh was born in Teddington on August 26 1911. He quit schooling early, and took a succession of jobs while developing his ambition to write. In 1934 he published a roman a clef, "Jews without Jehovah," immediately suppressed by members of his family who took exception to its contents. Following the outbreak of war Kersh joined the Coldstream Guards in 1940. The following year he drew on his Guardsman experience to write the bestselling "They Die with their Boots Clean," a classic fictional account of basic training. A sequel followed, "The Nine Lives of Bill Nelson," and the pair would be re-published together as "Sergeant Nelson of the Guards." Thereafter Kersh was hugely productive: a writer not merely of novels(such as "The Song Of The Flea" in 1948 and "The Thousand Deaths Of Mr Small" in 1950) but also stories, journalism, sketches and columns, radio and documentary film scripts. His stories are collected in volumes including "The Horrible Dummy and Other Stories "and "The Best of Gerald Kersh." His success was tempered by troubles over money, health and personal affairs, but through this turmoil he wrote some of his best novels: " Fowler's End "(1958), "The Implacable Hunter" (1961) and "The Angel and the Cuckoo" (1966). He died in New York on 5th November 1968, aged 57.
