Yes Clive was 86 when he died. Just a year older than my dad and as I said, I bawled my eyes out when he died so imagine how much I'm going to howl when my dad goes...ðŸ˜
Everything that Clive wrote over the years- every element of all of his stories were meticulously researched so his stories really are like adventure encyclopaedias.
I have almost every single one of his books- about 70 in total- he is the ONLY author I collect.
Haa yes well I've had a couple of careers already and am just about to hit the last half century of my life (hoping that I live to 100 that is..) and so still have time for a few more. The problem is, that time is flying by way tooo fast!
