An Unexpected Sight
There I was at the London Book Fair on Tuesday, wandering along, taking in the bustle and the deal making, enjoying the atmosphere and slowly heading over towards the Lion Hudson stand, where I had a 10.30 meeting with my publisher, when I stopped (creating something a people jam behind me). There, ahead of me, were the swirling lines of an Anglo-Saxon design, and ‘Edwin: High King of Britain’ in letters considerably bigger than my head, and ‘Edoardo Albert’ (about the size of my head), on a series of display boards. Unknown to me, Lion Hudson was featuring Edwin as one of its major new titles for the year. So, here’s a picture of me standing in front of the display.
And here are a couple more photos, with Tony Collins, publisher of Lion Fiction, and Jessica Tinker, my editor at Lion.

Well done, Edoardo!
A proud moment for you. Edwin is on my To Read list. Looking forward to reading it. My novels cover the same period and setting, so I’m particularly interested to see there is a market out there.
All the best and hope it sells like the proverbial hot cakes!
Thank you very much – and I’m hoping there’s a market for novels set in seventh-century Northumbria too! Watch this space…
