  • Terry Darlington is the author of three best-selling books Narrow Dog to Carcassonne (2004), Narrow Dog to Indian River (2006) and Narrow Dog to Wigan Pier (2013). These books, which humorously (and frequently poetically) describe his narrowboat travels with his wife Monica and pet whippet Jim, have sold over a million copies to date. Darlington was brought up in Pembroke Dock, in Wales. He gained a State Scholarship to Oxford, where he obtained a degree in English. He worked for Lever Brothers for eight years before moving to Stone, teaching at the Stoke on Trent College of Technology. Although he wished to be a poet, he "had three kids" and instead in 1976 he and his wife Monica founded a market research company, Research Associates. He was a founder member of the Stone Master Marathoners running club. Having kept a diary of his narrowboat voyage to Carcassonne, he studied creative writing before eventually producing his first book. In 2009 the Darlington's narrow boat, Phyllis May, was destroyed by fire while moored in the Canal Cruising Company's boatyard in Crown Street, Stone. The fire, which had started in a nearby boat, spread to an adjacent one and then to the Phyllis May, which was gutted from bow to stern.It was replaced by Phyllis May II. (en)
