The Life, Times, and Fortunes of Sir Timothy John Paul Platt Monday

Sir Timothy's Memoirs. An autobiography. The story of a remarkable life and a fatal belief that gravity applies only to other people. Sir Timothy John Paul Platt Monday, 4th Baronet of Carrickfergus narrates his own deeds.

His style is elegantly whimsical, reminiscent of an erudite English gentleman's memoir - polished prose with wit, warmth, eccentric insight, and Anglican grace.

The Memoirs chronicle his birth, upbringing, education, passions (philology, runes, philately, cricket, ghosts, Arthurian lore, Anglican faith), his Cumbrian life, and his peculiar cosmology and worldview.

His flat-earth beliefs are treated seriously yet with charm - a curious conviction of a learned but idiosyncratic baronet.
