ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Thanks above all to the late Harry Mulville, who died in Coffs Harbour in August 2014, to his daughter Joy Northcott and her husband, John, for their tremendous trust and generosity, and to Harry's other children, who made it possible for their sister to help me. I was also helped in Australia by Iain Couper in Coffs Harbour, Rachel Hollis at the State Records Authority of New South Wales, the Bloomsbury team in Sydney, and the staff of the Australian War Memorial, the National Library of Australia, the Mitchell Library, the State Library of New South Wales, the Coffs Harbour District Family History Society and the Coffs Harbour City Library.

Mark Stevens at the Berkshire Record Office gave me invaluable information about Broadmoor, as did Amlan Basu, Sheena Ebsworth and Estelle Morris at Broadmoor Hospital and, especially, Carine Minne at the Portman Clinic in London. Thank you to the staff of the British Library, the London Library, the National Archives, the Wellcome Library, the London Metropolitan Archives, Reading Central Library, Stratford Library, the Museum of London Docklands and the National Maritime Museum. I am grateful to Steve Holland for his research on penny dreadfuls, to Martin Smith for his knowledge about chess at Broadmoor, to Saul David and Mark McKenna for their help on the Great War, and to Sally Shuttleworth for her guidance on childhood in Victorian England. For excellent advice, thank you to Deborah Cohen, Chris Hilliard, Chris Hilton and Rada Vlatkovic.
