About the author
Born in 1938, M. J. Richardson is a British author usually identified as Michael J. Richardson. Available author-page material describes him as someone who started writing at school, continued through his teenage years, and later lived much of his life in Enfield, North London, before settling in Hertford with his wife and children.
His published work appears to span more than one lane, including both imaginative writing and practical or specialist nonfiction. Because the available sources are limited and not fully consistent in scope, it is safest to say that he is a versatile writer whose books reflect a long-running commitment to writing rather than a single narrow genre.
A separate biographical source for Michael John Richardson, born in 1938, identifies a mycologist and scientific writer of that name. Since the listing here uses the abbreviated pen name "M. J. Richardson," that overlap is worth noting cautiously rather than treating it as certain.
