A quiz question: Who wrote Small Craft Warnings (1972), Out Cry (1973), Vieux Carre (1977), Tiger Tail (1978), Clothes For A Summer Hotel (1980), Something Cloudy, Something Clear (1981) A House Not Meant To Stand (1982) and In Masks Outrageous And Austere (1983)? It’s not a trick question. The answer is a name that you will be very familiar with, one of the most important twentieth-century literary figures. Question two: Who recorded Down The Road (2002), Pay The Devil (2006), Keep It Simple (2008), Keep Me Singing (2016), Roll With The Punches, (2017), and Versatile (2017)? And the last question: who wrote The Glass-Blowers (1963), The Flight Of The Falcon (1965), The House On The Strand (1969) and Rule Britannia (1972)?
