History

R. Hale

Edward Storey (born 28th February 1930) is an English writer.[1] He was born at Whittlesey, which was then part of the Isle of Ely in Cambridgeshire, and the Fens have inspired some of his work.[1] Before becoming a full-time writer in the late 1960s, he worked in adult education for the Peterborough City Education Authority. His first volume of poetry (North Bank Night) was published in 1969.[1] In Fen Boy First (1994) he accounts his childhood growing up in Whittlesey, and in Fen Country Christmas (1995) he collects a number of stories, legends and fenland superstitions.[1] In one of his earlier works Portrait of the Fen Country (1971) he reflects upon his childhood understanding of the world as it was shaped by his fenland experience.

Letters from the Fens

In his latest collection of writings from the Fens, Edward Storey gives a most unusual personal insight into the land and its people. Presenting his views in the appealing form of letters to his readers, he has been able to cover a fascinating range of subjects, from the origins of the Whittlesey Straw Bear Festival and the Peninsular War to the inauguration of the John Peck Society and the gradual disappearance of much of the fenland countryside.
As usual, Storey colors his writing with amusing anecdotes, reminiscences, and his own inimitable style of description that make each volume a book to cherish.
