David North was born in 1932 in Dewsbury, Yorkshire. He lived as a little boy some years in Estonia, but his parents moved back to England shortly before World War II broke out. He attended Manchester University where he took a Bachelor of Science degree in 1954. He has had quite a variety of work experience, but most of his working life was spent as a schoolmaster in Manchester and later in County Durham, and after immigrating to Australia in 1982, in Logan City, he married Mary Scott in 1954 and has four children-Deborah, Jeremy, Jason, and Davina-six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Mary died of MS in 1982, whereupon his brother John invited him to come to Queensland, Australia. In 1985, he married Vasilou, who had three children (Nicky, Kelvin, and Irene), and he now lives in Logan City. David began and scribbling stories, poetry, and songs in the 1970s and '80s, but it was not until 2008 that he put any of them into bound book form. He likes books and chooks.
