To review, or not to review, that is the question:

 

We have always copied onto our site any comments we have posted following reviews on ‘Amazon’  (or The Guardian ). This was a).  to achieve maximum coverage of the points we made, and b).  to ensure they were safe-guarded from Jim Perrin’s attempts to have them removed — moderated — which, on several occasions, he managed to do.

The comment which we now copy is one we posted on Amazon after the ‘Llywarch’ review (an alias since changed to ‘Tim Bartley’) 12/11/2013, of the book by Harriet Tuckey  (‘Everest, the first ascent:’)  which was this year awarded two prizes: ‘The Boardman Tasker Award for Mountaineering Literature’, and the ‘Jon Whyte Award for Mountain and Wilderness Literature’, Non-Fiction.

Why was the review posted? Did the reviewer hope, at that late stage, that his opinion could influence the outcome of the judging? — or, might it have been an error of judgment on his part…   We think it was very poor judgment. Continue reading →

STOP PRESS: Jim Perrin to speak at Dinefwr

At the end of this month there will be an exciting new literary event in Wales. The ’Dinefwr Literature Festival’, is to be held at the National Trust property, Dinefwr Park and Castle, in Carmarthenshire, West Wales and is a collaboration between the National Trust in Wales; University of Wales — Trinity Saint David; and ‘Literature Wales’.

We note that Jim Perrin (who, it is known, is a Wanted Man) is scheduled to appear at the festival ‘In conversation with Jon Gower’, and he is described in the information as: ‘One of our finest writers about mountains and climbing, nature and HUMAN NATURE’ — our capitals! Continue reading →

Jim Perrin makes his escape to the hills

Over the years Jim Perrin has fathered at least seven children, each with a different mother, and given the information available to us it is reasonable to assume that the legal and financial responsibilities thus incurred were burdensome — indeed, we are aware, many have not been complied with at all…

To add to his difficulties, in 2003 the mother of one of his children had learned of his latest address — and had informed the Child Support Agency who would have been interested on her behalf. He had lived there only a few months but now was evidently feeling urgent pressure to slip away, as he had done from other addresses, before they caught up with him. In a letter from that house in Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant, written before the indefensible ‘get rid’ letter of August 18th A cuckoo in the nest?  he had tried to elicit Jac’s sympathy by deceitfully telling her that he ‘wished to leave as [—] knows the address.’ (He had hidden everything from our sister and was simply conning her.) She was the mother of his latest child — still a baby; obviously he had not voluntarily given her the details of his latest property and wished to avoid her — to give her the slip — and any future involvement with the CSA.
