Tim Severin was born on the 25th of Sept 1940. He is a renowned British explorer, famous historian, film maker and high profiled author.

His work has in the past earned him gold medal and the Livingstone medal awards by the Royal geography society.

He presently resides in Co. cork Ireland.

Tim gradually made a career retracing the storied journeys of both mythical as well as historical figures. In fact, as strange as it may sound, he even sailed a leather boat through the Atlantic (in the wake of the Irish monk saint Brendan) even captaining an Arab sailing ship from Muscat all the way to china. He also managed to steer an exact replica of a bronze designed age gallery in his quest to seek the landfalls of Jason and the Ulysses and Argonauts. His other achievements include ridding the route of the first Crusade right from the castle situated in Belgium all the way to the church of the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem. On his way back he opted to travel on a horse back with nomads of Mongolia in a bid to have an opportunity to explore the heritage of Genghis Khan. In the process of doing this, he was fortunate enough to sail the pacific on a bamboo raft in a bid to test and confirm the theory which claimed ancient Chinese mariners were capable of traveling directly to America. He also managed to retrace the journey of Alfred Russell a Victorian pioneer naturalist all through the spice island in Indonesia while aboard a native sailing vessel. While on this journey, he admits to discovering the real origin of the real Robison Crusoe stranded over 300 years ago on a desert island just off the coast of Venezuela.

More specifically, Tim’s first ever work of nonfiction included the following titles, they are: the Marco polo, explorers of the Mississippi, by horse to Jerusalem amongst others. His first works of fiction on the other hand included an epic trilogy which was inspired by Viking sagas and was laden with brooding Norse mythology and characterized by blood thirsty battles and extremely captivating characters. The publisher was Macmillan.
