Tony Nolan

This book is believed to be the only novel written by Tony Nolan. It was written in the late 1990s at Tony’s retirement cottage in Foxton. The manuscript pages (all handwritten in excellent script) were sent to Lindsay Cuthbertson for keying and print-out. Tony planned to submit the book to publishers for evaluation, but the book was never published. Tony died (aged 80) in 2003. The club library holds other Tony Nolan books.
