Now living in the South West of England, Claire’s love of history is equalled only by her delight in the natural world and the unruly sea by which she lives with her family and assorted animals by the wild, wide sea.
Always on the move with my Air Force family, I spent a peripatetic but happy childhood in my book-lined imagination fueled by tales from the past.
I ached to tell stories but struggled to read and write, and it wasn’t until the age of nine when living in Norway that I broke through the barriers. When I did, I spent every spare minute reading everything and anything I could. I loved CS Lewis, Arthur Ransome, the Bronte sisters, and Tolkien.
Day-dreaming took pole position in the life of a nascent author and, without the distraction of television and beguiled by the wide, wild landscapes that surrounded me, I lived between the real world and that conjured in my head.

Timothy Stunt was born in Chelmsford, England and was educated at St Lawrence College, Ramsgate and Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge where he studied modern history and theology. He spent a year researching 19th century European evangelicals in the Fondo Guicciardini, Florence and later assisted in the production of that collection's catalogue.
Since then, his professional life has been that of a teacher of history in secondary schools in Switzerland (Aiglon College, 1970-85), England (Stowe School 1985-95) and Connecticut, USA (Wooster School, Danbury 1997-2014). His primary interest for some fifty years has been in radical evangelicals in the early 19th century, some of whom were the subject of his ground-breaking "From Awakening to Secession: Radical evangelicals in Switzerland and Britain 1815-35" (Edinburgh 2000). He has contributed some forty articles to the "Oxford Dictionary of Biography" and is a recognized authority on the lives of Anthony Norris Groves, Francis Newman, John Nelson Darby and other early Plymouth Brethren. His particular interest is religious people who are difficult to label - individuals who defy categorization. Perhaps that reflects his own religious pilgrimage which is far from finished!
