Subject: RE: The New Book

Des – Hope all well, amico. Just to say that in doing research for the book, two men have become heroes to me – they are Thomas Coram who created Britain’s first ever children’s home, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Coram – and John Barnardo – http://www.infed.org/thinkers/barnardo.htm – who of course created the Barnardo’s Homes. Both of these men were pioneers and blessed with great courage and compassion. Their achievements are really worth exploring if you get the time. They were men who left the world in a much better shape and without them the likes of us would have been so much poorer. I know what you mean about putting the reader off with history lessons but I think this is a valuable and fascinating history and as one of the aims of this book is to open up the children’s home to the wider world, perhaps it needs saying. I have just been to see Norman Bass. I am sure you remember him – had a stutter and always ran away. I had a great day with him. He had been through so much but seemed very much at peace with life. I was so anxious that at the start of this all the stories would be doom and gloom but half way through and everything remains very positive. Makes me happy and, yes, very proud. David Westbrook is next. He e-mailed me yesterday. (Would this book have existed without the internet, I wonder?) Up the Spurs. Paolo
