Terry Wardle
Terry Wardle (born 17 April 1944) is a British writer born in Hereford. Has also been a soldier, teacher, journalist and businessman. He is perhaps best known for his award-winning children’s novel ''The Hardest Sum in the World'', originally published by Andersen in the UK and Australasia in hardback〔1986, British Library Cataloguing in Publication Data ref 823'.914(J) PZ7〕 and by Corgi in paperback〔1987, ISBN 0-552-52460-3〕 in Britain, published in Spain in 1989〔La suma mas dificil del mundo, ediciones sm, ISBN 84-348-2573-2〕 and Italy in 1994〔Il problema piu difficile del mondo, Piemme Junior, ISBN 88-384-3614-2〕 To date it has sold around 100,000 copies in the UK, Europe and Australasia.〔The Hardest Sum in the World, MTC, ISBN 978-0-9553809-2-1〕 It has been in print continuously somewhere in the world for more than 20 years and is now published in the UK by MTC.〔 It was particularly popular in Italy and in 1995 he became the first non-Italian winner of the Premio Verghereto literary award, which had previously been won by many leading Italian children’s authors.〔Corriere di Cesena Anno III/N.275, 5 Ottobre 1995, p.11〕
In 2009 he became the first writer to chronicle the history of the first pre-conquest Norman castle built in England in his book ''England’s First Castle'', published by The History Press.〔ISBN 978-0-7524-4797-1〕 The book not only contained detailed original research on the castle and its builder, but a scathing critique of the failures of nineteenth- and twentieth-century historians, who had fatally confused what little information was thought to have been known about the castle.
Other books include an historical novel, ''The Secret of The Talisman'',〔2007, MTC, ISBN 978-0-9553809-1-4〕 and local histories, ''The History of Barbourne'', of which he was co-author〔2007, MTC, ISBN 978-0-9553809-0-7〕 and ''Heroes and Villains of Worcestershire''.〔2010, The History Press〕 His journalism career began at the weekly Kent Messenger. He also worked as Supplements Editor on the Birmingham Evening Mail and as editor on the Orpington Times and the Hereford Observer, and did a stint as a sub-editor on The Independent.
