detailed time line of many of the key points in Nevil Shute's life, and he
has supplemented it with a most interesting collection of photographs.
ORAL HISTORIES:
This section has been created to provide additional sources of information
relating to the life of Nevil Shute Norway. It is intended as a supplement to
his autobiography, the biography by Julian Smith, and Richard Michalak's Time
Line. At present, it includes talks and question and answer sessions by
Nevil Shute's daughters, Heather Mayfield and Shirley Norway. In the future,
we hope to include extensive interviews with friends and associates of Nevil
Shute.
