Media Reviews
I knew I would like Stanley from the moment we fi rst met. He reminded me of two of my all time heroes rolled into one ... Charles Darwin ... and ... Captain Birdseye! -- Jo Brand, comedienne, speaking the launch of the hardback version in September 2011
A brief note to say how much I enjoyed your stories, forthright opinions and lovely touches, dare I say, of whimsy, which together made up a wonderful holiday read in Florida -- Barry Davies, BBC Sports Commentator
Thanks for all your excellent advice over the years and, as for your book, wow, what a wonderful read - a real page-turner! -- Digby, Lord Jones of Birmingham
Author Bio
Stanley Jackson was born in Epsom Surrey. His early years were spent in a council prefab but he joined the middle classes in 1966 when he married Iris and acquired the first in a series of unaffordable mortgages. He set up Performing Artistes in 1992 after a successful career in financial services. His maternal grandfather, Stanley Howard Stubbs, was involved in shipping horses to France in the Great War; an heroic activity given brilliant theatrical expression in the award winning stage play Warhorse , adapted from Michael Morpurgo's book and now a major Hollywood film by Steven Spielberg. Stanley Jackson and Michael Morpurgo were both guests of Libby Purves on BBC Radio 4's Midweek programme on 19 October 2010.
