Obviously, there were some wonderful Maths teachers at the time too! Dad’s direction was not an artistic one like Leonard Fenton, his path was to the London Hospital in the Mile End Road – hoping to help transform healthcare. I hope he would have been an inspiration for Dr Legg.

Also: am re-reading The Fields Beneath, 30 years after I first came across it in the library next to Keats’ house. Always find something in there I had not known. Perfect joy to be had.
