Autorenporträt
Born in 1875, J.W. Dunne was of mixed English and Irish descent. He became a soldier and pioneer aeronaut, before retiring through ill health and taking to dry-fly fishing. He is best known for his later book on precognitive dreams, time and consciousness, An Experiment with Time. He died in 1949, shortly before the Second Edition of Sunshine and the Dry Fly was published. Guy Inchbald, who edited this edition, has for the last ten years or so been working on a biography of Dunne. A technical author by profession, he has also written several books on technical subjects and has edited and published other biographies. He maintains a web site on J.W.
