Bernard Cornwell was born in London, raised in Essex and worked for the BBC for eleven years before meeting Judy, his American wife. Denied an American work permit he wrote a novel instead and has been writing ever since. He and Judy divide their time between Cape Cod and Charleston, South Carolina.
Praise for The Lords of the North: ‘Beautifully crafted
story-telling, complete with splendid set-piece battles and
relentless derring-do, so gripping that it rarely stops to catch a
breath. It demonstrates once again Cornwell’s enormous skill as a
historical narrator. He would have graced Alfred’s court
entertaining the guests with his stories’ Daily Mail ‘Cornwell
takes the spectres of ninth century history and puts flesh back on
their bones. Here is Alfred's world restored – impeccably
researched and illuminated with the colour and passion of a master
storyteller.’
Justin Pollard, author of ‘Alfred the Great’ Praise for Bernard
Cornwell: 'Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year,
hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him
from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels
of his generation' Daily Mail 'Cornwell's narration is quite
masterly and supremely well-researched' Observer
