Gerald Killingworth read English at Cambridge and was an English teacher for many years, including four very sunny years in Athens. He is now a full-time writer of (mostly fantasy) novels for adults and children as well as completing a PhD on the notorious Elizabethan writer Robert Greene. The folk music and folklore of the British Isles are a particular love of Gerald’s and he is an enthusiastic morris dancer and folk singer, but still very much a shy novice on the tin whistle.
