When his father asked a very young Stephen what he wanted to be when he grew up, he replied: Tennant's life was set from the beginning. I believe he did a good deal of research! He also did the artwork. He attempted poetry at times and spent much of his life writing a novel called Lascar set in Marseille and about the life and culture of the sailors there. He had a relationship with the war poet Siegfried Sassoon and famously spent a good part of his later years in bed. He is a bit of an enigma he had bright purple hair a long time before punk, he was one of the bright young things in the 1920s, openly gay at a time when it was really not safe to be so. Tennant was born at Wilsford Manor, his family home in Wiltshire and he died there in 1987 aged 81. I was torn between fascination (an interesting and colourful character) and irritation (a life lived in a totally self absorbed way talent wasted) Excellent biography of one of England's great eccentrics.
