My father, Charles Chadwick, who has died aged 92, was a British Council officer involved in a career that took him to Africa, South and North America, and finally to Poland. There, as the councils director, he administered its Know-How Fund to help pay for libraries in Krakw, Gdansk and Poznan following the collapse of the Soviet Union. After retiring from the British Council, in 2005 he had a surprise success as an author when a novel he had written more than 30 years previously, , was published by Faber and Faber when he was 73.
