Lionel Davidson (my Dad) was one of the great authors of the twentieth century. He won the crime writers gold dagger three times, wrote three of the big adventure stories of the last century, and two classic childrens books too. He had a particular magic with words that made vivid scenes spring out of the page. Two of the big adventure stories should have been blockbuster features, and maybe they still can. His books were translated into many languages and have dozens of editions. I put pictures here from some of the numerous covers. I am not going to say more about any of the books, or plots, as you can explore for yourself on his Amazon page, and Faber & Faber.
This is a special year for him as it is 100 years since his birth. Maybe a time for me to reflect, celebrate, heal old wounds, read his books again, and see what happens in this special year. For me it is an it is an anniversary too. Along with the Queen it is a year of anniversaries!
