About the Author
Ian D. Walker has been doing cryptic crosswords since his childhood in England. Having never had assistance with the intricacies of solving these puzzles, he felt that he could make it easier for others by teaching them his methods. He has been a crossword compiler for many years and believes that 'quick crosswords' will never hold the same enjoyment once this craft has been mastered. Ian is an engineer by trade and lives in Port Elizabeth.
