Knowing Two British Eccentrics

Susan Howe

Thrill to a dramatic account of how the actions of a group of assassins brought about a change in the passport regulations; how the unmasking of a spy
caused a modification in passport design and how, for one man, the passport itself turned into a killer.

Susan was PA to Sir John Betjeman. Her time with him and his celebrated teddy bear, Archie, has provided her with endless amusing anecdotes. And "Siegfried Farnon", the character played by Robert Hardy in the television series All Creatures Great and Small, was a dear friend. Susan will tell you about these two cherished eccentrics in a most entertaining way.
