About the Author

Born during World War Two, the son of a limestone quarryman, in a village above Buxton Spa in Derbyshire, England, Ken Frodsham was not very successful in his early years at school. He failed to gain admittance to grammar school and went instead to a secondary modern school (intended for those not so academically gifted). While there, he excelled in school dramatic productions, became head prefect, and dramatically lead them on a one-day protest strike. In his fourth year he was fortunate to be taught math by the deputy headmaster, who inspired him with confidence and mathematical insight, something that has never left him to the present day. The author gained a certificate of education through the University of Bristol and went on to enjoy a very successful teaching career in primary schools, culminating in an appointment to a Local Education Authority advisory team.
