Acknowledgements
Top of the list has to be Mary Whitehorn, who contributed so much that by rights she should have been listed as another author, but she declined on the grounds of modesty (now that is rare in a writer). Also up there are those ever-cheerful people at Springer Verlag – Beverley Ford, Rebecca Mowat and Sally Tickner who all worked hard behind the scenes and provided the drive and enthusiasm. And finally, grateful thanks are due to the Three Crowns at Ullingswick. This tranquil establishment (with superb food) was where we planned the early stages of the project. Of course, as work progressed, further restorative visits were unavoidable....
