Author's Biography
Surviving the Blitz, an inconspicuous grammar school education and a bemused service in army Intelligence make for an odd background for an author. Remnants of Ted Bocking's great grandfather’s scribbled notes formed the basis of the Barnaby Madden books - The Hickory Stick and The Ashen Rung.
