Having recently reread B.B's Pegasus Book of The Countryside it registered with me this time around that B.B was one of twins. I wonder if his sibling ever fished or shot or maybe excelled in some other field? Anyone know of any information relevant?

This suggests his twin brother Roger was a wildlife artist:

But also possibly an actor in Canada:

It was fairly common at the time to reverse christian names so John Roger might wll be Roger to the family.

He features in "Child Alone" I seem to remember - but sadly I no longer have a copy of this excellent book.

I believe he went to Canada and was a newspaper man and broadcaster but returned to live with BB at the end of his life.
