This Observer revelation about The Salt Path is interesting, not least for raising the question: to what extent do book publishers have an obligation to establish the authenticity of a memoir?
Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with their story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. The Salt Path became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.

Sad to hear of the death of Timothy West. No mention in the Guardian obits of his superb turn in The Monocled Mutineer as the callous brigadier-general in charge of the Etaples training camp. Always been a sense that The Monocled Mutineer is meant to be expunged from our collective memories
