Christopher's Life Has So Far Been Rather Short Of Charm - Growing Up In An Unlovely Suburb, With Unambitious Parents And A Semi-vagrant Brother - And He Is Captivated By His Generous And Cultured Mentors.

Shattered, He Withdraws From London And Buries Himself In Rural Yorkshire, Embracing A Career And A Private Life Marked By Mediocrity.
