Jeremy James 1949-2023 RIP
Posted by Lydia Unwin on
We were sad to learn that our author Jeremy James died in Shropshire on Monday 25 September 2023 after bravely enduring a long illness. Jeremy’s masterpiece, The Byerley Turk, has been printed in many editions and translated into Turkish, Slovakian and found fame on both sides of the Atlantic. Flamboyant at times, but also happy in his own company, Jeremy loved people, horses and dogs, wine and old friendships. He will be missed.
