Adventures in Two Worlds

Adventures in Two Worlds an autobiographical novel by A J Cronin, creator of televisions Dr Finlay and author of The Citadel and many other bestsellers. A master storyteller, A J Cronin presents possibly his most fascinating tale. Taking material directly from his own life, he tells of the early struggles of a poor medical student in Scotland, the cruel crushing of all hopes of becoming a surgeon, the years as a ships doctor and, later, life in the country practice that was the real Tannochbrae. There are many strange twists and turns not the least of them the dramatic move from the world of medicine into that of literature when a novel written despairingly on twopenny exercise books, thrown out and rescued from the rubbish heap was accepted by a publisher. And with Hatters Castle a new career was born.
