Trivia
On grounds of artistic integrity, he bravely turned down an offer from Disney for the film rights of 'Kes'. They wanted to change the fate of the kestrel and give the film a traditional Disney-type ending. His decision ensured he would miss out on a financially lucrative deal and possibly further work for them.
