Talk:Miles and Beryl Smeeton

This Wikipedia article is a uninspiring and uninformed summary of two unique and remarkable individuals.

It woodenly captures probably less than 1% of their essence. At the very least it could reference their biography “High Endeavours: The Extraordinary Life and Adventures of Miles & Beryl Smeeton” by Miles Clark his godson.

Beryl’s own personal travels — often on foot — through the Caucasus, India, Persia, Burma, Siam, French Indo China, Chile, Patagonia, Argentina, Brazil etc. are sufficient enough before their sailing years that included two round the world eight-year voyages. The last included rounding Cape Horn westabout.

Most of us will go through life without ever meeting people of this calibre!

Beryl Miles and Beryl Smeeton
There is apparently a massive confusion here: Beryl Miles (1919-2014) is not identical with Beryl Smeeton (1905-1979).

The author of The Stars My Blanket is Beryl Miles NOT Beryl Smeeton.... while Winter Shoes in Springtime is by Beryl Smeeton.

For Beryl Miles (19-2014) see https://www.librarything.com/author/milesberyl
