I read Biggles as a boy and Patrick O'Brian as an adult. I think I can tell the story of a young man learning a lot quickly in a world where the technology changed rapidly and every day could be your last, or a glorious journey of beauty and wonder high above the earth.
I can tell the background behind the fiction. It's a fascinating journey into a land lost in time and remote in space and culture.
