Summary
To describe this book is taking in
a wide band of spectral themes.
Ranging from abstract fantasy
to spiritual and philosophical thought.
Dealing with human nature
in a complex world.
Thinking of where we came from
and our place in the cosmos.
Our ultimate loneliness and our
search for comfort.
inevitably our need for love.

I was born Paul Robert Holder at home in Kensington London

Funny how later I would have a keen interest in collecting fossils.
My mother Betty Holder was with my father Colin Holder in a short term
marriage, he was a script writer.
My mother remarried and I took on the name of Phillips.
I have three brothers Christopher, Peter and Keith.
At the age of six I had a heart operation for a faulty valve
at Harefield Hospital performed by the famous Egyptian surgeon
Sir Magdi Yacoub.
We moved to Northolt West London after a few short term addresses
and lived there for some 40 years.
In that time I went to two boarding schools one was in Seaford
on the south coast of England and then to red house school in Tadworth
in Surrey.
My mother divorced and as a single parent brought us up.
Leaving school in 1982 with a few CSE, s I took on a number of jobs
