About David Williams

David Williams was born in 1926 in Bridgend, Wales. He was a well-known official advertiser before he got engaged in the writing profession.

Their household treasured the English prose and narrating of stories. David started narrating while he was seven years old. During that moment he was schooling at Oldcastle school.
