12It is necessary to declare at the outset how indebted this book is to the scholarship on Graham Greene of Judith Adamson, Marie-Françoise Allain, Christopher Hull, Tim Butcher, Quentin Falk, Carlos Villar Flor, Michael Hill, the late Jeremy Lewis, Michael Meeuwis, the late David Pearce, Kevin Ruane, Brigitte Timmerman, and Jonathan Wise. Each of these scholars has assisted me in essential ways, and any errors I make in their special areas of research are mine alone.
