Neil Philip

Neil Philip was born in York in 1955. He has been fascinated by the Arthurian legends since childhood.
Although Neil Philip has edited and retold a number of folktales for children, "The Tale of Sir Gawain" was his first full-length children's book. His books for adults include scholarly work on folk narrative and children's literature.
Neil Philip lives in Oxford, where he is editorial director of a small publishing firm.
