The writer John Dickinson

Welcome! I'm John Dickinson, author of medieval fantasy novels for young adults and of a historical novel called The Lightstep.

Covers of The Cup of the World, The Widow and the King and The Fatal Child

"The sorcery is in the writing, conjuring visions of fields and woods, lakes, mountains, rural manors and massive strongholds, the views glimpsed through windows in medieval paintings, haunted by the monstrous creatures of Hieronymus Bosch..."
                                                
Jan Mark in The Guardian

"These are the strangest novels I've come across since William Morris's fairytales; gripping yet dreamlike, frustrating yet marvellously suggestive."
                                    
Amanda Craig in The Times


Some of what you'll find here is about the books. Some of it is about me. Just take a look around.
