Author, Roy Charles, was born in Westminster, London and has lived in and around this great city and revelled in its deep history all his life. Roy's interest started at school, fascinated by and engaging with the characters, their battles and castles and then the social and geographical changes they brought about ( in that order ! ). At the same time he also used to collect Tea Cards. From 1954 until 1999, packets of Brooke Bond tea included small, illustrated cards, about 50 in a series, which were collected by many children. "Elizabeth I to Elizabeth II" and "Famous Britons" were two of the subjects covered, with a total of about 85 separate titles issued around the world: 59 series published in the UK.
In 2016, Roy noted that there was not an A6 book of British Prime Ministers in existence, hence the first in the WoB style ( white text on black background ) was published in November 2017, which reflected the tea card format of about 200 words per subject and a colour portrait. - but specifically covering UK historical topics.
Roy has spent much of his career in Information Technology ( IT ) Services as well as being a part-time professional singer and music producer. From 2000 to 2005, Roy was also the Chairman of a UK Government Learning and Skills Council responsible for funding post 16 education.
Roy now resides in Ash, Kent, on the outskirts of London with his family, having been blessed with four children.
Series now includes British Prime Ministers, Kings and Queens of England and Britain, British Castles and Palaces, British Battles from 825 to Present, Great British Women with Great British Sayings in production.
