Norfolk magistrate and Quaker John Myhill retired from the Bench after ten years service in the Norwich courts, but it was when he was in the dock himself in front of a Crown Court judge that proved a major turning point in his life.

John story’s following his birth in a tropical thunderstorm in Hong Kong includes encounters with poet Walter de la Mare, authors AA Milne, TS Eliot and former Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

“I am returning to the awe of childhood, to the dreamer that I was.”
