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.
