My name is Philip Steele and I am a writer of information books for children of all ages. My work includes both illustrated reference and topic books. These are to be found in homes, school libraries and public libraries around the world.
I write about history and also about how we live today. I also write about lands and peoples, the natural world and the environment. Which subjects interest you? Click on the menu above to find out about books I have written. The more recent titles are currently in print. Others may still be available in your local library or reissued in other formats. No books can be ordered directly from this website.
I also write some books for adults, such as guides to the part of North Wales where I live.

Knights and Castles
by Philip Steele
Consultant: Prof. Jeremy Black
This is a spectacular visual guide to the medieval world, with ultra-realistic illustrations bringing to life the turmoil of battle, the heat and dust of the Crusades, the storming of a castle, the finery of a tournament and the world of chivalry and courtly love – backed by a wealth of information and contemporary quotations.
