Biography
Ian Emberson was born at Hove in Sussex in 1936, and is proud to have been christened by the poet Andrew Young.

For many years he was Music Librarian at Huddersfield, but has now retired in order to concentrate on writing and art. He also enjoys walking and swimming and is a life-member of the Gaskell and Brontë Societies. He has two children by his first marriage - Beth who lives in France, and Robert who lives in Surrey.
