Thord-Gray's Biographer


We saw here how an arrow from Cupid’s bow was required to bend the course of Timothy G. Turner's life, bringing him to Mexico and eventually crossing paths with Ivor Thord-Gray.   Well, it appears that cupid spent another arrow, changing the trajectory of Stellan.Bojerud’s life to become the biographer of Ivor Thord-Gray:

The year was 1961 and I used to frequently visit the public library in Sundbyberg [Sweden], the first floor being a maze of larger and smaller rooms, passages and alcoves. I had met a beautiful girl and the uncertain terrain of the library's ground floor offered opportunities for some privacy, which we used for socializing of an innocent nature. In order to disguise the real purpose of my regular visits, I must, of course, dally, and borrow books. At the entrance was a shelf with the library's new acquisitions, and I found by accident "Gringo Rebel", which had just come out...

Some forty years passed after Stellan was smitten in the library at Sundbyburg, before he began work on “Soldat Under 13 Fanor” (“Soldier Under 13 Flags”), finally published by Sivart Forlag in 2008.
