I was sorry to find out that David Grayson is not a pseudonym, but an entirely fictional character. I was gullible enough to think that perhaps these wonderful stories were like James Herriot, just embellished a bit, but no, they are complete fiction. This is fitting because utopia is always a fantasy.
