Jon Gower on a life shaped by stories:

I became a writer because of my grandfather, Thomas John Gower.  He was a feisty coal miner and was pretty ancient even when I was a very young boy. Tough as boots, clear-eyed dadcu was a mesmerising storyteller, and, boy, had he tales to tell … It was through him I learned the sheer satisfaction of listening to a story well told.
