Christopher Webster read English at St David's, Lampeter, and took a master's degree in Education at Sheffield University. He is now a teacher and writer. His first educational publication was Poetry Through Humour and Horror (Cassell, 1987). This was followed by many more educational publications including books for KS3 and GCSE English Language and Literature, published by Hodder, and the best-selling 100 Literacy Hours (Scholastic, 1997/2005). More recently, he has focused on what is closer to his heart - writing fiction and poetry. He is particularly interested in writing about his cultural heritage, which gives him plenty of scope, since it ranges from Anglo-Saxons to Yorkshire miners, and includes Robin Hood, the Wars of the Roses and King Henry VIII along the way. The link between these diverse elements is his home town of Conisbrough, its castle, and the nearby colliery, Cadeby Colliery (now pulled down and grassed over).
