A FORMER Clent teacher with a passion for all things relating to Titanic has penned a fictional tale about the ill-fated ocean liner.

‘Titanic’ by John Hodges, who used to work as a special needs teacher at Sunfield School, tells the tale of a teenaged stowaway onboard the luxurious ship, which hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage in April 1912.

John, who lives in Worcester, said: “I’ve always been obsessed with Titanic, ever since I was a little boy.

“The story although fictitious could very well be true, as possibly there were stowaways on board for that fateful voyage to eternity.”

Copies of the book, priced £10, are available from the author who can be contacted by email - richardjhodges@yahoo.co.uk - or via his website johnrichard.totalh.com
