Erskine Childers

"Ring's fascination extended beyond the book to the personality of its author, and like the narrator of 'The Riddle of the Sands' (Carruthers, of course, in those days) soon found himself engaged in a tale far more intriguing than anything he may originally have bargained for....There have been books about Childers before, one of them an 'authorized' biography by Andrew Boyle. Ring has made full use of the material available to previous biographers and added to it a certain amount that has since become available. None of this is strikingly significant, but Ring does give the story a warmth of interest that the authorized version seems to lack.Jim Ring is the author of 'Erskine Childers' with ISBN 9780719556814 and ISBN 0719556813.
