"A survivor of the 1916 torpedo attack on a Cross channel ferry,
Sussex, recognised Spanish composer Granados in a lifeboat, his
wife in the water. Granados dived in to save her and perished.
Subsequently, the Sussex incident became a pawn in the propaganda
battle of WW1. Extensive research into family involvement in WW1
put Walton in possession of historical detail not generally known.
He assisted American novelist John Milton to obtain background
material for 'The Fallen Nightingale'. Walton subsequently wrote
his own account of the composer's unhappy final journey.This is the
truth behind the story. David Walton graduated in Modern Languages
at University College, London, and undertook further studies at the
University of Florence and at Trinity College of Music. He worked
for some years as a Civil Servant, notably at the port of
Folkestone, where he became very familiar with cross-Channel
ferries between England and France. Book includes translations in
Spanish and Catalan."
