It is with great sadness that I announce that my very good friend Lewis Jones died on 9th September 2021. He would have been 97 in November.
I have written an obituary which can be read here. If you have any comments please send them to me using the contact form.
Lewis had negotiated with an American magic-book publisher for some of his great works to be re-printed. The first of these is the much-in-demand “Seventh Heaven” which is now available from from me for UK and European delivery and from H&R Magic Books for the rest of the world. Please click on the link to Seventh Heaven below . . .
