Chapter Notes – The Voyage of The Aegre

The Voyage of The Aegre
The Voyage of The Aegre

Before I started writing The Voyage of The Aegre, I gathered together and read all the old letters from the time, bits of diaries, early drafts of the story Julie and I had worked on long ago, magazine articles I’d written, and all the photos I could find. It took me a few years. Then, immersed in it, the memories flooding back, I started writing the story.

With so much material, it was difficult to decide what to include and what not.

Following publication, I started to receive letters from readers wanting more. I decided to progressively publish on the website a selection of the material I cut from the early versions of the story, as Chapter Notes — a sort of adjunct to the story. So here they are. I hope you find them interesting, but you’ll need to read the book first to get the best value from them.
