Paris and the Somme, July 2004

       Here we see Richard Perceval Graves (author of what has been described as 'the definitive biography of Robert Graves'). He spoke on 'Artistic Truth and Good-bye to All That'. Richard (in the pale suit) is pictured sitting at the Choumieux Restaurant next to his cousin William Graves (Robert Graves's Literary Executor and a key figure in the Robert Graves Society, who can also be seen in the picture above).

Trouville-sur-Mer May 2004

      


Among those present were the journalist Candida Crewe, the novelist Louis de Bernières, self-confident and good-humoured author of the highly acclaimed Captain Corelli's Mandolin, pictured left with his delightful partner Cathy Gill, (wearing the scarf) an actress and Producer whose quiet devotion to Louis combined with her unforced friendliness to the rest of us made her a great favourite.
