Tom Percival

It could be said that Tom Percival had an unusual childhood in a remote and beautiful part of South Shropshire: he grew up in a ramshackle and cold caravan, without electricity or heating. However you look at it, these formative years led him to writing and painting. After trying to live in several big cities, he decided that he always belonged in the countryside, and now lives on the edge of Rodborough Common in Gloucestershire with his partner and their two young sons.
