Source Notes

Sy Scholfield quotes from "Four Absentees" by Rayner Heppenstall (Dufour, 1963), p. 159: "That summer the Blairs adopted a son, Richard Horatio, born about 11.00 a.m. on May 14th, as Orwell made a point of finding out in order that I might cast the child's horoscope. Their flat was blitzed, presumably by a V1."

Birth year given in "The Cambridge Companion to George Orwell" by John Rodden (2007).
