Edward Forde Hickey is a retired Headteacher and has written eight books to date, each with an element of folk culture. "Edward has a lovely style where he effortlessly combines the world of history, folklore and fiction. He manages to switch from humour to sadness and takes the reader willingly along with him." - M.
