Someone once asked Jack Trevor Story why he didn't write an autobiography. He replied, "What do you think I've been doing all these years?" (For example, see short stories such as The Night the Brick Came Through the Window >>> )

As Michael Moorcock has written, "The fantastic episodes you read in a Jack Trevor Story novel are usually the ones drawn most directly from life. What appears to be exaggeration can easily be a toning down of the original event and what appears to be most ordinary is frequently complete invention."

While the flavour of Story's life is perhaps best found in his own writing, the links below will also take to you to other pieces which have attempted to capture something of the man and his work.
