Hard Work In A Short LifeHis prolific work can be seen all over England, Scotland and Ireland. He managed to achieve more in his short life than most of us do in a normal lifespan, as can be seen in his brief time line. He was married three times and had eight children; dying finally at the age of forty from exhaustion. |
