Guest Blog: Hugh Ross On Finding JB Priestley's THE ROUNDABOUT
My father, Gordon Ross, was a polymath: a doctor who, unconventionally in the 1930s, after he had qualified, also practised homeopathy. In his free time, he loved to paint, read, and write rather good poetry and some very bad plays. He had a vast collection of books that I inherited, including a collection, Four in Hand, by JB Priestley, whom he much admired, published in 1954.
