Autorenporträt
Stuart grew up in Rochester, Kent, trained as a teacher at Borough Road College and started his first teaching post in Suffolk in September 1980. He worked in four schools during his teaching career acting in different roles including headteacher, retiring after 37 years. He has a large extended family and his daughters have him busy travelling the country keeping up with all that they are involved in! His love of Napoleonic history started in the days when Airfix made plastic figures and he was taken to the film Waterloo by his dad. Although more of a spectator nowadays, he still loves sport and will often be seen shouting at a TV screen with friends as they tell the players what they should have done!
