"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Charlie Pritchard looks back and tells the story of a perfect bank robbery which he had planned meticulously forty years ago, together with the proprietors of the Rainbow Cafe. It was the best way to escape his mundane life in a small Welsh seaside town as a poorly paid clerk in Cadwallader's bank. He wanted to gain a triumph over his colleagues, and he wanted to live with the beautiful Delphine. He knew that this was his only chance for them to start a new life - with the stolen money.
R.F. Delderfield was born in South London in 1912. On leaving school he joined the Exmouth Chronicle newspaper as a junior reporter, where he went on to become Editor. From there he began to write stage plays and then became a highly successful novelist, renowned for brilliantly portraying slices of English life. With the publication of his first saga, A HORSEMAN RIDING BY, he became one of Britain's most popular authors. Many of his bestselling novels were later adapted for television. He died in 1972.
