From his time as a boy chorister, singing to the Crowned heads of Europe, in St George’s chapel at Windsor castle, during World War II, to his time as a volunteer on the Indian sub-continent, sixty years later, Anthony Graham Shillingford traces his life.
Born in 1930 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, his memoirs recall his life over seven decades.
Taking the phrase ‘Only connect’ which he picked up in his reading of E. M. Forster, during his time at King’s College, Cambridge, he weaves his story in sixteen chapters, describing people, events and places.
Recorded for his family of three generations and friends, there are chapters in which he writes of his abiding and sustaining interests in music, sport and his Christian faith.
The recollections have been written in the tranquillity of his house in South West France, which he and his wife Suzanne, converted from a derelict barn and where they now, each year, enjoy many weeks of their retirement entertaining their family and friends.
All proceeds from this book will go to help people with learning and behavioural problems.
