Simon Winder

Simon Winder is a British author and publishing executive whose books explore European history with wit, learning, and an engagingly personal perspective. He is a senior editor at Penguin and has written a trilogy of books about Central European history — Germania, Danubia, and Lotharingia — that combine serious scholarship with irreverent humour. Anglia turns his attention to English history with the same distinctive approach. Winder's writing is unlike any other history writing: erudite, funny, digressive, and deeply personal. His audiobooks and books are beloved by readers and listeners who enjoy history that is as entertaining as it is informative.
