JUNE 2009

HARRY PATCH, the last survivor of the trench warfare of the First World War, is 111 today. He is the author, with Richard Van Emden, of THE LAST FIGHTING TOMMY, of which Bloomsbury have sold more than 350,000 copies. Harry must be the world's oldest first time author and I am honoured to represent this self-deprecating, wise and noble man. No wonder the nation has fallen in love with you Harry!
