Kevin Telfer

Kevin Telfer is the author of three books including The Remarkable Story of Great Ormond Street Hospital (2008), where he first found out about J. M. Barrie and the Allahakbarries due to Barrie's fascinating connection with the hospital. He has written for the Guardian, the Sunday Times and The Idler.

He was rather more athletic than Barrie as a childhood cricketer but still never managed a score of more than 12 in a competitive match and last played when he was seventeen years old. Nonetheless, he has a lifelong love of listening to cricket on the radio.
