Howard Marks - Two Dragons

This snapshot of amiable raconteur, Howard Marks, comes courtesy of Y Lolfa - publisher of his latest literary outing, Two Dragons. It was taken last week at the Swansea Grand where an impressive 800 devotees turned up to listen to the ex-narcotics smuggler. They probably won't get that many in for the Christmas panto. Marks regaled them with tales of his family history and his improbable links with American outlaw Billy the Kid. He also spoke at length about the making of recent biopic, Mr Nice.

*Two Dragons, published by Y Lolfa, is on sale now.
