ⓘ About Stephen Done

Author Stephen Done was born August 3, 1960. He is an official curator and historian of the Liverpool Football Club museum at Anfield since the year 1998. Stephen is also a museum curator by profession. On his eighth birthday, while he was wearing a Batman cape (and his best friend wearing in a Robin cape) he declared he wanted to drive steam engines. This was on a day when dark thunderclouds gathered behind their house right on the outskirts of Scarborough. Then he was told that the last steam engines would be departing the very next day. That might be why he began writing about them instead. Forty years later, he was actually able to do just that.
