About Christopher Lee

His prize winning writing stretches from his BBC Radio 4, History of Britain,
This Sceptred Isle, to what has been described as some of the best ever comedy drama in Our Brave Boys with Martin Jarvis and Fiona Shaw.

He is the only script writer ever to write The Archers in a Cambridge college. As the first Quatercentenary Fellow at Emmanuel College, Cambridge he wrote his history of Britain which became This Sceptred Isle.

At the same time he was editing Winston Churchill’s A History of the English-speaking Peoples for its one volume edition.

Having written nearly 30 books and more than 70 radio plays, Christopher Lee is also now teaching others to write as well as planning three new stage plays and two new books.

When not writing he sails his classic yacht from the River Beaulieu. Appropriately she is moored just yards away from where Nelson’s favourite ship, Agamemnon, was built. His book Nelson & Napoleon appears in September 2005.

He is also a member of the Limehouse Group.
