Matthew Flinders' Cat
“Readers sometimes ask me where I learn all the stuff in my books and the answer, of course, is that I borrow material from minds far better than my own. Those of us who write are literary magpies gathering bright objects for later use in our work.
For all the bright objects in this book I thank the names that follow. Firstly, my partner Dorothy Gliksman on two counts: she gave me the space to write uninterrupted, and she was my first proofreader. Her suggestions were always considered and w...ise.
Then my thanks to Celia Jarvis, who was again the principal researcher on this book and, as always, did more than I could possibly have asked from her, often working through the night to keep up with my not always reasonable demands. I cannot thank you enough.
There were the others who gave unstintingly of their knowledge and offered help. From the Salvation Army, Gerard Byrne, Major Cliff Randall, Christine Garvan, Major Kevin McGrath, Vincent Byrne, Captain Paul Moulds and Annie Winn, I thank you all.MoreLess
