Biography

Born in Nottinghamshire, raised and educated there and in Kent and Cornwall, later at Oxford university and then Edinburgh. Married and had three sons. Did some teaching of French and of English to foreign language speakers, and started translating. Mostly I have done historical source material, also children’s books and other general work. Now I live in Cumbria and enjoy walking, reading, writing, friends, family, dogs and cat.
