About Me

Howard Baker: Howard Baker was born in London, England, and completed his formal education at the City of London College in Moorgate. He went to Germany to work and went on from there to Italy and Greece, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, to retrace in part the routes taken by Marco Polo and Alexander the Great through what is now known as the Middle East. He married the artist Lynda Miller and moved to West Wales where he wrote in between living off the land. Later he sold up and took to the road with his wife and two young daughters to live with the gipsies. Moving back to a house in Kent for the sake of the children's education, he continued to write after losing most of his earlier work to the elements. He and Lynda published 'Property in France' magazine, and in the same year decided to base themselves in France, where they now live. In 1999 'Sawdust Caesar' a fictional autobiography of the Mod years of his life was published, and subsequent to its success a sequel, 'Enlightenment and the Death of Michael Mouse' was published in October 2001. 'Sawdust Caesar' is being reissued in tandem with 'Enlightenment', the first print run having sold out.
