    Uncle Giles is the author's favorite relative. He was born in England and spent a year in high school in Minnesota as part of an exchange program, where he grew six inches and played on the football team. After returning to England, he studied jewelry making and worked in Barcelona for five years building housing and studying Spanish art. He now works as a senior lecturer in jewelry design in London, though he no longer has his distinctive dreadlocks and piercings from earlier in his life and appears more typical and professional.
