Ralph Hammond-Innes was born in Sussex in 1913. A prolific author, he has many international bestsellers to his credit, most of which are rarely out of print. He has also written a superb history of the Conquistadors, two books of his world travels and sailing, and an evocative illustrated book on East Anglia. It was in the early fifties, with books like The Lonely Skier, Campbell's Kingdom, The White South and The Mary Deare, which became renowned films, that he achieved international fame.
