Statement

Henry Eliot is a literary walker. In April 2012 he organised a recreation of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, raising over £10,000 for the National Literacy Trust. In 2013 he is walking to Canterbury again and organising a quest for the Holy Grail based on Thomas Malory’s Morte d’Arthur. He is co-editor of Curiocity, a map-magazine of unusual experiences in London, and he is currently editing a documentary on mazes and researching a novel about the Medieval Earthly Paradise. He has worked on BBC television programmes, written speeches for the UK’s chief scientist and worked for an international literary agency.
