The Last Journey of Enrique Granados

A survivor of the 1916 torpedo attack on a Cross channel ferry Sussex recognised Spanish composer Granados in a lifeboat his wife in the water. Granados dived in to save her and perished. Subsequently the Sussex incident became a pawn in the propaganda battle of WW1. Extensive research into family involvement in WW1 put David Walton in possession of historical detail not generally known. He assisted American novelist John Milton to obtain background material for 'The Fallen Nightingale'. This book which includes translation into Spanish and Catalan is Walton's own account of the composer's unhappy final journey. It is the truth behind the story.
