about: Alan Fisher was converted to books when he was doing National Service and had time on his hands.Back in civilian life, he worked as a clerk in an underwriting syndicate in Lloyds, as a porter at London University, as a clerk in Paddington General Hospital. He attended night school and entered teacher training. Teaching history in secondary schools in Sussex and Kent, he later gained a degree from the Open University and a postgraduate diploma from Sussex --but feels he learned far more from reading Arthus Koestler. The Terioki Crossing was his first book.
