A short Q&A with D A Adamson can be seen below:
Q: What is the first book you remember reading, or being read to as a child?
A: Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame and Tarka the Otter by Henry Williamson
Q: Do you have a favourite quote? (from a book, movie, song, speech…)
A: ‘A closed mouth gathers no foot’ – an amusing, adapted Zen saying, full of truth
Q: If you could teleport yourself anywhere, real or fictional, where would it be and why?
A: Lake Lugano, Italy. So I could sit in the sun under an awning on the terrace of my favourite, small, privately owned hotel and admire the green waters of the lake, while sipping a delicious glass of chilled Prosecco.
