  Telegraph | News | Lt Col Sir Simon Lycett Green, Bt
Simon Lycett Green was born on July 11 1912, the younger son of Sir Edward Lycett Green, 3rd Bt, who died in 1941, to be succeeded by Simon's elder brother, Stephen.
Simon's grandfather (the inventor's son), also Edward Green, married a Mary Lycett and bought the property of Ken Hill in Norfolk, where the architect J J Stevenson, a proponent of the "Pont Street Dutch" style, designed a house which was begun in 1877.
Simon Lycett Green's childhood was spent between Sandal in Yorkshire and Ken Hill, and at a young age he developed a keen interest in country pursuits.

 Simon Jabanunga Green - SCC20011846, 20110698
Simon Green, who was with his wife, Agnes, caught up with her.  Simon Green apologised for what he had done in taking her away from Batchelor.  He said he would find a way for Miliwanga Sandy to return to Batchelor.  Simon and Agnes Green took Miliwanga Sandy back to their house. 
Mr Green is described in the psychologist’s report as a well groomed man, even in prison clothes.  He appeared intelligent and articulate.  There were no indications of any mental illness, nor of any bizarre beliefs and delusions.  He did not appear to have any hallucinations or delusions.  He presented as normal.
Mr Green has expressed a willingness to undertake these programs.  He is now approaching late middle age.  I do not exclude the possibility of rehabilitation.  I acknowledge the difficulties and his present inability to effect a change in his behaviour.

 Simon R. Green Agents of Light and Darkness Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
Apparently, my wish is Green's command, because I had hoped back then that it would turn out to be the beginning of a series, and here's the second book quicker than I could have hoped.
Green's Nightside is a delightful mixture of fantasy, horror and science fiction, all seamlessly integrated by Taylor's entertaining monologue.
Green's vision of the Nightside trends towards horror, with lots of scenes that should be more disturbing than they are.

 Science Fiction Book Reviews
One thing Green does especially well, considering this book is part of a series, is fill in the back history without distracting from the current events.
Green is often genuinely witty, and uses the humor effectively as a break between action sequences, but he occasionally gets a little too playful with his prose when trying to be funny.
Perhaps a bigger flaw with the humorous sequences is that Green uses them to define the supporting characters a little too often, especially Rose, Brett and Saturday, and they seem more like caricatures than people essential to the story.

Simon mixes philosophy and humor with the facts, though some of the latter are surprising, as when he informs us that California extends to the 42nd parallel and that "in the north, it adjoins British Columbia." [page 100].
Simon dedicates this work to the cause of temperance, in the conviction that the more general use of wine "would help to check both drunkenness and teetotalism, evils which every fair-minded and temperate man cannot help deploring." This is a recurring theme in Simon's books, one that he felt very strongly about.
Simon's preface is pretty much identical to that of the first edition, but he adds that the vineyards and wines of the world are constantly changing and that "is why all books that deal with wine have such a short span of useful life.

 The Windish Agency   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Simon Green aka Bonobo produces music which is all too often bracketed with the bland-out fest of fun that "Chill Out" has become - not without reason, in that he makes ultra-musical, accessible, relaxed beatscapes, but wrong-headedly in that, like Lemon Jelly, there's always a whole heap more going on than might immediately register.
At 18, Simon felt stifled by the "small minded town" he had grown up in and moved to Brighton, mainly because he had mates there and liked the atmosphere and because "no one is from Brighton.
Unsurprisingly, majors and some of the biggest indies came sniffing round and Green and his friends at Tru Thought were aware that it was time to raise the game.

Simon R. Green once again shows himself to be a master of using the everyday and ordinary to paint fantastic and engaging worlds.
Green, like Stephen King, writes vividly engaging characters that, immortal or human, react like real people to the chaos swirling around them.
Green's characters, whether it be his slacker hero or a reluctant X-Gen werewolf or even an extremely ditzy pack of hippies turned mice, never disappoint by being two-dimensional.

It was as if Green caught caught up in his own enthusiasm of making a truely nasty trap and then, lacking a way to get his protagonists out of the hole he has dug, he instead reverts to the default.
Green often tells us how great this new Empire is, and how sad it will be when it is destroyed, yet he doesn't construct or demonstrate anything to convince the reader that the new Empire is all the great.

 Simon R Green: Drinking Midnight Wine - an infinity plus review
Without making it an actual comic story, Green writes with a dry wit and irony which is refreshing and appealing, particularly when compared to the pedestrian nature of much fantasy writing.
It's as if Green is so fond of what his imagination has come up with that he has to dwell on the people and spend time with them.
As Toby was being introduced to the inhabitants of his town as it appears in Mysterie, I felt that we, the readers, were also being given an introduction.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Drinking Midnight Wine
Simon R. Green was born in 1955 in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, England.
Green brings a wealth of imagination to Mysterie, a realm where gods are real, legends walk, and monsters and miracles live side by side.
Since this is a Simon R. Green book, everything is much larger than life -- the heroes extremely heroic, the villains astonishingly villainous, the choices between good and evil very clear-cut.

 Amazon.com: Deathstalker Return: Books: Simon R. Green   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Bestseller Green's latest overstuffed entry in his Deathstalker epic (after 2003's Deathstalker Legacy) tests our heroes to the limit as they seek the supposedly dead Owen Deathstalker, for they believe that only he can turn back the oncoming Terror, an evil and unstoppable force bent on destroying all the worlds in its path.
Green ably juggles elements of sword and sorcery, high fantasy, humorous quest and SF, with homages to authors such as Moorcock, Adams, Cordwainer Smith and Zelazny.
Green seemingly needs Owen Deathstalker to return just as badly as the crumbling Empire does - in Owen mode, Green's story immediately transforms itself into the captivating space opera that made me such a huge Deathstalker fan to begin with.
