Cross explains : "There are many tall stories about
Evan Morgan. So called facts have
been invented around him, in some cases these
are no better than lies. Often
the lies are mischievous and
deliberately contrived, with Evan himself
being one of the principal liars. By presenting these
testimonies from Evan's contemporaries
the truth is attempted at long last."
