First, a word of warning! This book is not about the BBC TV show Mastermind, or the much revered late Magnus Magnusson. This book starts with the Fowler family tree in 1541 and then moves swiftly on. Rather than a true biography the book branches out into what was happening elsewhere around the time of which I write. World War II; The Long March (sometimes called The Death March); details of the first jet plane flight; National Service; Ouija boards; meeting Elvis Presley; and Freddie Trueman; the Berlin Wall; Germany, Russia, Italy, The Maldives,America; Castle Howard; La Jurade de Saint-Emilion; meeting HRH Prince Charles; a court case; meeting the Lord Chief Justice, and so on...The book is intended to be light hearted and humorous. As well as being a memoir it also comprises part travelogue and part social history. It also provides a miscellany of other happenings, doings and yet more anecdotes, which occurred throughout my lifetime.
