acknowledgements

Firstly, deepest thanks to
Nick Comfort for his ongoing support and encouragement as I reinvented his father’s book. Equal thanks also to all the friends and colleagues who helped make that reinvention happen, particularly to: Barbara Levy for her continuing professional and personal backing; Joy Haughton for her bright intelligence, ideas, and stamina; Laura Bates for her delightful attitude to work and particular talent in brainstorming; Clare Button for her utterly tireless ability to sort out tiny pieces of information; Colin Marsh for energetically balancing books; Sara Nazzerzadeh for insightful cross-cultural expertise; and all the great people at Mitchell Beazley for bringing everything to a triumphant fruition. Last but by no means least, thanks to the Shaft of Darkness Club for their ability to answer the most esoteric of questions.
