Jack Metcalf was blinded by smallpox at the age of six, but he did not let this stop him from leading an astonishing and adventurous life - becoming an expert horseman, gambler and guide. He eloped at the age of twenty-one; ran numerous enterprises; joined the military as a musician, and led the Yorkshire Blues onto the battlefield at Culloden.

Dr Arnold Kellett is a well-known local historian and author of eight previously published works. An expert on Blind Jack, he has contributed to three radio shows on the subject. He is a former mayor, and now freeman, of Knaresborough and is the winner of the Yorkshire History Prize.
