G R Pidgeon

G. R. Pidgeon has spent the last twenty years as Head of English at leading state and independent schools in Kent, aiming to inspire the next generation of readers and writers. He is also an English Subject Leader for The Prince’s Teaching Institute, developing the subject knowledge of new teachers, and specialising in Victorian and Gothic Literature, as well as the Romantic Poets.

Gaining an MA at the University of Sussex and a PGCE at the University of Bath, G. R. Pidgeon also studied for a year at the University of California, San Diego, spending most of his time driving a vintage 1974 Cadillac Coupe de Ville up and down the Pacific coast, hiking in Yosemite National Park, and working as a runner on a TV show for the Discovery Channel.

G. R. Pidgeon lives with his wife and three children on the North Surrey Downs, close to the Ashdown Forest and the High Weald, a landscape rich with ivy-strewn manor houses and Tudor castles. Most weekends he is to be found exploring the forgotten corners of ancient parish churches, reading the faded inscriptions on the backs of toppled gravestones, or climbing up winding staircases in search of secret passages.
