I was sent a copy of the biography of Sir John Elliott which has just appeared online (see below) because it begins with the picture of John I was involved in commissioning when I was at the National Portrait Gallery; but I read to the end because it provides a fascinating and very detailed account of a remarkable historian – so incredibly hard working, so wide ranging, both a parachutist and a truffle hunter, who managed to maintain his humanity to the end. It’s a long read, but worth it.
