Editorial : About the Author MARTIN FIDO was Andrew Bradley Junior Research Fellow in English Literature at Balliol College, Oxford in the 1960s, and thereafter taught English at the Universities of Leeds and the West Indies. He was also a visiting professor at Michigan State University. He now lives in Massachusetts and teaches at Boston University. His Short Illustrated Life of Dickens was hailed by The Dickensian as one of the two best books marking the centenary of Dickens' death. Besides his books on literature, he has published many articles dealing with nineteenth century novelists such as Dickens, Thackeray, Disraeli and Jane Austen, but is probably best known for his work on Jack the Ripper and his LBC Radio series "Murder After Midnight" which ran from 1987 to 2001.

If you so happen to pick this book, be prepared to learn about European/African interactions, African farming methods, demand for slaves, and how (if at all) South Carolina took part in it.. I am a parent advocate and had heard great things about this book. A wonderful collection of science fiction and fantasy short stories from one of the best writers in the business. Breakaway just didn’t do it for me.
I like the narrator for this a
