Goodreads asked Simon Miller:

How do you get inspired to write?

Simon Miller Same answer up there: you get a story which runs against the grain of what people think is true and tell them something different, a David and Goliath thing, taking on the official line. It's what inspired me to write my stuff on the Mexican Revolution and the English Culture of Land and Landscape - - kindling a bit of light that casts new shadows on an old wall - - I plan to do the same with Alison Uttley, an amazing woman who everybody got wrong - - but that'll probably involve another leap of imagination - - and another time.
