Conisbrough Tales is a modern version of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, being a collection of stories about my home town, Conisbrough, in verse. I am sure that Geoffrey Chaucer's dog could write better poetry than me, but I think (hope) that there are a few felicitous moments where the doggerel rises to the level of verse (and, at rare moments, perhaps even poetry). Whatever the quality of the writing, I believe that those who know and love Conisbrough as I do will enjoy reading these stories.

Autorenporträt
Christopher Webster was brought up in Conisbrough, which is well-known for its magnificent castle. The castle and its link with Hengest provided the inspiration for this pentalogy. Another inspiration was studying English at university, particularly the study of Anglo-Saxon. His first publication was Poetry Through Humour and Horror. This was followed by many more educational texts as well as a wide range of fiction, drama and poetry. He is married to a Filipina, has four children, and is currently a teacher in a European school.
