Wainwright, Brian

Brian Wainwright has had a deep interest in the Middle Ages for most of his life. His first published novel,
The Adventures of Alianore Audley
, was produced by way of light relief during a lull in the long task of researching and writing
Within the Fetterlock
, a novel born of his obsession with Constance of York. Brian owes a debt to many writers, living and dead, who have influenced his work and admits to a particular fondness for Jane Austen, Robert Graves, and Geoffrey Chaucer.
