Alfred Alcorn

Born Alfred Denny, I grew up in the docklands of Merseyside, in the green fields of Ireland, and on a dairy farm in South Chelmsford, Massachusetts. I graduated from Harvard and have worked as a journalist, teacher, travel director (of the Harvard Museum of Natural History), and safari guide, among other things.
