Nicholas Jubber

Nicholas Jubber is an award-winning travel writer. Fascinated by history and its relationship with the present, he explores connections — and misconnections — across the centuries. In his book, The Fairy Tellers, this fascination carries im from Kashmir to Lapland to find out the history behind some of the world’s most beloved, and many long-forgotten, fairy tales. He has been shortlisted three times for the Stanford Dolman Award, and won it for his debut The Prester Quest. He has spoken at literary festivals including Hay-on-Wye and Edinburgh, and has written articles for The Guardian, The Telegraph, and The Irish Times, among others.
