Peter Maughan Books
Peter Maughan, a former actor and theatre director, sets his Batch Magna novel series in the picturesque borderlands between England and Wales. His works unfold in a village cut off from the outside world, where houseboats on the river Cluny play a central role. This inspiration stems from the author's own experience living on a houseboat in the 1970s, capturing an atmosphere of freedom and escapism in his narratives.
