Tim Davison is a National and European sailing champion with thousands of cruising miles in his wake. He has written numerous sailing books and even founded a nautical publishing company. John Quirk’s biography would have been a lot shorter if the German bomb that landed outside the air raid shelter in which he was born, had gone off. He started drawing soon after and left UK at 25 for East Africa, then New York and finally Australia where he lives with his wife and enjoys drawing, writing and messing about in boats.
“It’s a laugh a minute, and John Quirk’s cartoons are, as always, gold.” (Classic Boat) “Tailor made for relatives of keen nautical types who don’t know what to buy them for Christmas.” (Sailing Today)
