Über den Autor

Christopher Hadley writes at the murky, wonderful intersection of history and folklore - producing immersive history books which meld time-travel, actual foot stepping and meticulous research. His first book was Hollow Places, an account of his search across one thousand years of British history for the dragon-slayer Shonks. His second book The Road is a quest and love letter to Roman roads. Both books have received ecstatic praise from reviewers with Dominic Sandbrook choosing Hollow Places as his book of the year and Gerard de Groot writing in The Times about The Road: "...the breadth of his knowledge ...the beauty of his prose. The Road deserves to be read at least twice, first to appreciate what it reveals and then to luxuriate in its effervescent voice. On nearly every page a random passage takes one's breath away".
