Today we celebrate Desmond Bagley’s birthday in 1923.
Despite suffering from a speech impediment, which had so much less understanding and tolerance back in his youth, living through the Second World War in the dark gloom of commandeered factories, nationwide rationing and a family life that was less than happy, it is a testament to his resilience and creativity that he was able to bring so much enjoyment to the world with his exciting stories and epic adventures.
Let us also remember a man who was known to be kind and supportive of others when so few had helped him. A character we could all aspire to emulate.
Happy Birthday!!
