About the Author

David J Harrison only realised that The Lord of the Rings had been read to him as a sleeping infant when, as a child, he sought an explanation for its familiarity. More consciously, he was brought up on a diet of classic science fiction and fantasy, most notably the stories of Robert E. Howard and Fritz Leiber. He lives in Cambridge with his wife and children, who he stops reading to when they fall asleep.
