R.F. Delderfield biography 'Butterfly Moments'

A fascinating history marred only by the numerous miss-prints, I look forward to returning to RFD now that my fallen apart paperbacks have been replaced with "Kindle" versions

RFD Deserves a far better biography than this offering, especially this Kindle version, which appears to be a rough proof sent for editing. Repetition abounds as do factual and typo errors, it is not a good example of the Kindle library.Lindsey-Noble's style of writing does not lend it self to subject matter of this nature and I felt on occasions she was trying to hard to mimic Delderfield's 'common touch'. Very disappointing.

Marion Lindsey-Noble's biography of the writer R.F. Delderfield is enjoyable and interesting, but could have been better.While not exactly forgotten, Delderfield doesn't have the grip on the reading public he once enjoyed, but his novels in particular still stand up well. Marion Lindsey-Noble tackles her subject with great affection and offers an interesting portrait, but her book falls down on a couple of counts. There is very little referencing - quotes, ancedotes and memories are rarely attributed, which is frustrating, and the absence of an index is a disappointment. There are also some glaring errors, particularly with the description of some of Delderfield's non-fiction works as novels. There are other mistakes which take the shine off the biography; however, it is an interesting look at a writer who deserves to be both remembered and read.
