Cliff Martin
I spent more than 30 years working as a sub-editor and production editor on various national newspapers. Until taking early retirement in 2022 I edited on the Comment section of The Times. I live in West London with my wife Angela, a university lecturer, and our children, Isabel, who works in publishing, Luke, who is a teacher, and Oliver, who is studying for his A-levels. My hobbies include painting and ceramics, gardening and hiking on the South West Coast Path. I've always loved reading children's books to my own kids so I'm thrilled to have finally written one of my own.
