Robert Parry is a UK writer of historical fiction with special interests in Tudor and Elizabethan history, Victorian Gothic and Pre-Raphaelite art. His debut novel, ‘Virgin and the Crab’ appeared in 2009, and his 2nd, ‘The Arrow Chest,’ in 2011. He is currently working on a story set in the 18th century – which, all being well, should arrive towards the end of 2012. His work spans the Tudor, Georgian and Victorian eras, and attempts to combine reality, dreams and the unconscious within a well-researched and vivid historical setting.
