Harry Fancy was born in Stockport, England, in 1937. After earning an Honours Diploma at the RHS garden, Wisley, Surry, his butterfly mind induced him to transfer to museum work, becoming Curator of the Stockport Museum, then reestablishing the long-mothballed museum at Whitehaven, Cumbria. In the course of his work he produced scores of information sheets and booklets, whilst three of his more substantial books enjoyed success in the annual "Lakeland Book of the Year" Competition. Yet alongside these works of non-fiction, he delighted in producing short stories of many kinds, and the first selection of his outpourings appears within. Harry and his wife, Margaret, reside in Nether Kellet, a tiny village in north Lancashire, England, where they have lived since leaving the Isle of Man in 2002. See less
