One of my reviewers says that the test of a good book is the number of pieces of paper you've put in to flag up points for later consideration or quotation. I've got a veritable forest, but I'm not going to quote anything: I really think you'd be best reading the book yourself. That way you'll get the flavour of the man. He's irreverent and lives life to the full and he's funny, although I won't readily forgive him for the footnote about the overpaid footballers which left me snivelling with laughter in the doctor's waiting room just as my name was called. I would like to thank him for sending a copy of the book to the Bookbag though: it's been a real treat.
One of Hartley's heroes was the late, great John Peel: we have our own [[Margrave of the Marshes by John Peel and Sheila Ravenscroft|tribute]] to him.
You can read more about Stephen John Hartley [[:Category:Stephen John Hartley|here]]. Do read it - it tells more of Hartley's story than I've been able to include in the review.
