John Hodnett

John Hodnett is a Black Country boy. He was born and educated in Wolverhampton, between the Second World War and the Swinging Sixties, at a time when children were largely left to their own devices. He is married, with a daughter and two grandchildren. Now retired from teaching, he lives in Shropshire, where he spends his time avoiding housework like Mr Baker, and pottering about in the garden.
