On the eve of a landmark birthday, one of Ronald Blythe's publishers had the opportunity to ask him a few questions...

You started writing in the 1950’s, with the release of your first book, A Treasonable Growth, and Divine Landscapes, which was reissued earlier this year. What has inspired you to keep writing for so many years?

 

I have lived in East Anglia

 all my life and my work is must influenced by its landscape and ‘spirit’. I became a full-time writer in 1956, when I lived at Aldeburgh and assisted at the Festival. I edited The Aldeburgh Anthology for Benjamin Britten.

 

Canterbury Press has just re-published your ‘Wormingford’ series, Can you tell us a little about Wormingford and why you started writing these?
