Hello to you too Kate...

Johnny, this particular "Nemo" is an author named George T. Eyre. Here's the evidence; Lynn Advertiser, 26th December 1885. Cheers

Hi Johnny. All Shannon's other books were published in Walsall, so Glasgow doesn't really prove this is the right "Nemo". But I'm happy to share my bio on Shannon if you like. Cheers

I’ve done a bit of work on Shannon. Happy to share it with you. Haven’t come across the book you mention but “Nemo” was his pseudonym. Where was the book published? That might be the give-away!

Is this John Clark Shannon?

Agreed. I have mine as open tabs which I never refresh. This means I can never, ever turn my iPad off, or the fantasy collapses!
