Post subject: R.I.P. British writer Allen Saddler, 88? (British author of 1980s
Archived from groups: rec>arts>books>childrens (more info?)

His real name is Ronald Charles William Richards, aka K. Allen
Saddler, Ronald Charles Richards, R. Charles William Richards, & R. C.
W. Richards.

I can't seem to find any proof of his death other than the following
notice:

Quote:

Dec. 21: "It was also Ron Richards’, aka Allen Saddler, funeral today:
Ron was a writer, activist, socialist and humanitarian whom I’ve known
for over 20 years. Sam sang a Max Miller song, we all sang 'We Shall
Overcome' and Jazz musicians played great music to send him on his way
– he’d have loved it."


Also a theatre critic, he lived in Totnes, Devon, England.

Here's what I posted on his birthday in 2008:

"I am a working writer, willing to tackle anything between
masterpieces and matchbox labels."
