DEREK TURNER
Scribbler. Lincolnshire
“I wonder that so many people have written, who might have let it alone” (Dr. Johnson)
This is where the masochistically-inclined can find some of my articles, plus details of books and other oddments. I have written for all kinds of publications, on subjects ranging from arts and books to politics and topography. These include the Times, Sunday Telegraph, Economist, Daily Mail, Spectator, Literary Review, Irish Times, Country Life, New Welsh Review, Chronicles, Modern Age, University Bookman, The Lady, Spectator Australia, Quadrant, Spiked, This England, and Kent Life. I am furthermore responsible for three novels – A Modern Journey, Displacement, Sea Changes, with another presently searching for a publisher. My chief areas of interest are English literature, British topography, European culture and history, folklore, and current affairs.
I lurk in what was one of the obscurest and smallest Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, but can generally be run to earth at kingdomoflindsey[at]gmail.com
