Derek tangye

John McCarthy explores the fascinating life of British author Derek Tangye and reveals a remarkable and enigmatic portrait of this influential writer. Derek, who lived in the West Country for almost 50 years, penned a score of books collectively known as The Minack Chronicles. The stories illustrate the unusual lives Derek and his wife Jeannie led when, in the s, they abandoned their sophisticated metropolitan lifestyle to live in isolation working a cliff top daffodil farm with their beloved animals in the farthest reaches of Cornwall. As McCarthy travels to the area surrounding Minack, the main inspiration for Tangye's work, he explores the world of a writer whose literary triumphs mask a mysterious and complex life. His descriptions in the books of the 'glorious anthem' of a cat's purr and the 'sweet moment when a long-awaited harvest awakes' provide an atmospheric backdrop to the captivating discoveries and secrets of his life. A few years after Tangye's death in , a national newspaper ran allegations that he was a Russian spy. The sensational headlines were quickly dismissed by those who knew him, but last year, during a Tangye centenary event, an audio project also revealed a life a lot bleaker than the books portrayed. Speaking with the Tangyes' inner circle, followers and experts in spy history, McCarthy attempts to uncover some of the mysteries and unanswered questions surrounding the author while evoking the struggles and triumphs he encountered making a living from the land.
