Autorenporträt
Christopher West is a British writer, historian and performer. His early education was in Taunton, where he was enthralled by the richness of English language and literature, particularly with fine teachers inspiring him with Shakespeare and Dickens. He became absorbed by the works of C.S. Forester and particularly the character of Royal Navy hero, Horatio Hornblower. When 14, Christopher learned that Forester had just died and was moved to write to a National newspaper; which published his letter as their official obituary. Christopher went on to enjoy a successful management career, in hotels, retail management and consultancy, often involving lecturing, writing guidance manuals and reports. Now living close to St Katharine Docks, Christopher's passion for London further grew with lecturing about Dickensian times and gaining further insight into the capital's history and culture. Spurred on by Dickens' reputation as the greatest writer, reformer and performer of his period, Christopher West became well known for his public talks - in period dress. He has hosted events and appeared in documentaries for the BBC, American television and Londonist, becoming a respected expert. Christopher's 'Dickens Day For Great Ormond Street Hospital' was a big fund raiser and personal gratitude to the famous hospital for saving the life of one of his granddaughters.
