Homer's Ill Iliad & Odd Sea Odyssey (420 pages) is an adult satire/parody rewrite of the classic stories of the 10 year Trojan War and of the 10 year adventure of Odysseus trying to return home to his native Ithaca.
My "fictional" book about education in the UK Independent sector was written after I had departed a top school, still smarting from the crap I’d had to deal with there.
Background
Information
For 5 years, between 1959 and 1964 I trained as an Industrial Designer and then took a PGCE, Post Graduate Certificate in Education – a one year teacher training course. Not wanting to enter education then I worked in Local Government and Museums as a Graphic and Exhibition Designer and after that for several years as a freelance designer. In 1983 I entered secondary education and eventually retired in 2005. My wife and I now live in Somerset in the UK.
