The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick.

Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.
