Biography
Following a career in advertising and children's TV, Robin decided to give up his job, sell his London flat and follow a hunch. He felt that there was more to the family stories about his great grandfather's brushes with Mexican bandits and narrow escape from the Revolution than he had been told.
The result of this extraordinary journey is THE MANGO ORCHARD, a story which has already been featured on BBC Radio 4, and has attracted interest from TV executives, Hollywood directors and an Anglo-Mexican opera company.
THE MANGO ORCHARD was published in hardback by Preface in Spring 2010, the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution. It was published in paperback by Arrow in April 2011.
