Peter Simpson

Peter Simpson is an English historian living in the United States. He graduated

from the University of Kent at Canterbury with a History degree in 1970, at which point

he had already contributed significantly to a definitive work on the development of

naval aviation. Over the years he has continued to study history and collect historical

ephemera while also managing a successful business career.

That career took him from London to the north of England, then Belgium and

finally different locations in the USA while at the same time travelling all over the

world.

These were opportunities to immerse himself in the history of different cultures

first hand; there was always a museum or an art gallery close at hand.

Discovering the little known work of London print-maker Paul Fourdrinier gradually

developed into an opportunity to write his first full length book, a work of many years

in spare moments in airports and hotels.

Peter is currently working on a comprehensive series of books on England in the Middle Ages. The first volume, The Normans, is published and the second volume, The Angevins, will be published soon.

He lives in Western New York and South West Florida with his wife Donna, four cats and an extensive library.
