I carried my darkroom with me during those five exciting years in Europe. This is the third book that draws on my life experiences. 'Illusions of Paradise' was my first, the traveller's 'Crucible Cookbook' was the second with Lynne Mortensen. My fourth will be our Travels in West Africa in the 1950s. During all these years John has been my companion and bold instigator. - Hilary James
