Edward Rutherfurd

A British author hailing from Salisbury, Edward Rutherfurd has been the pen-name of Francis Edward Wintle for a number of years now, as he writes under it creating an extensive backlog of historical fiction that are epic in their scope. Known for creating highly expansive story-lines, some ranging over ten thousand years in their chronology, he has a strong gift for building on the initial premise with great depth and insight, setting up whole worlds within his narratives. Being well established for many years now as well, he has not only gained the respect of both his peers and contemporaries, but also has a loyal following amongst the general public as well.
