Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam.

Both Jack’s mother and aunt were well known proof readers. This book is an original proof copy given to Alison in 1982 to check.
