History
Charles Fisher (1914-2006) was born and educated in Swansea. A contemporary of Dylan Thomas, they both became journalists for the South Wales Evening Post and were part of the Kardomah Group. The friends moved to London where Fisher worked as a journalist for Reuters. He was a talented poet and his work was published in Wales magazine. Fisher and Thomas collaborated on the spoof thriller, The death of the king's canary, during the late 1930s; reference is made to the draft first chapter by Fisher in Constantine FitzGibbon's introduction to the book, eventually published in 1976. Fisher joined the Army Intelligence Corps during the Second World War, and after Dylan's death in 1953 he moved to Canada where he worked for the Canadian parliament.
