- Jan_Needle abstract "Jan Needle (Full name James Albert Needle, born 1943) is an English author. He was born and grew up in Portsmouth on the South coast of England, coming from a family with strong naval and military connections. He has written over thirty novels, as well as books and plays for adults and children, books of criticism, cartoons and radio and television serials and series.After studying to becoming a journalist and despite poor grades in English, he moved to the North-West of England at age 20 to work for the Daily Herald newspaper. At 25 he took a Drama degree course at Manchester University, quitting full-time journalism after working for various papers. His first novel, Albeson and the Germans, was published in 1977. His first work for television was the one-hour drama A Place of Execution.His best-selling novel is The Bully which has been translated into multiple languages and is a set text in schools in South America. The Times Education Supplement said it "avoids the glib answers of formulaic fiction". The TES also recommended it for classroom use to tackle the topic of bullying.His historical nautical series, the William Bentley novels, are known for showing the British Navy in a less favourable light than most fictional books in the genre tend to, and for removing some of the romantic gloss that is often attached to the genre.His novel Death Order speculated that leading German Nazil Rudolf Hess was murdered.He has also written a sequel to The Wind in the Willows, called Wild Wood, which offered a critique of the politically conservative message of Kenneth Grahame's novel, by retelling the story from the perspective of the stoats and weasels who rebel against the established social order.He is also co-author with Peter Thomson of Brecht, a study of the playwright Bertolt Brecht.He currently lives in Uppermill, Saddleworth, near Oldham and West Didsbury, Manchester in the Northwest of England, and has five children.".
