About the Author
Rob Bailey spent his formative years in the village of Cumnor, Oxfordshire, where the family home rested peacefully upon the hill known as Tumbledown Dick. He lives in Surbiton with a small family of guitars. Ed Hurst, in common with Isaac Newton, was born in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. His blend of pompous, puerile verbosity has helped him to establish himself as a company director and management consultant. Rob and Ed are both well respected scatological-geographical-etymologists, with a specialism in UK names.
