THE GHOST OF LORD BYRON

In 1865, young John H. Watson arrives in England from Australia, where he was born, and begins attending Harrow School.

John H. Watson

John H. Watson is the pseudonym of the author Daniele Nicastro. Daniele Nicastro was born in 1978. He currently lives in a small village in the province of Cuneo, where he writes everything: novels, postcards, messages in bottles and phrases on the walls. He began telling stories as a boy, to his mother, whenever he came home late without warning her. Over time he made a profession out of it. He made his debut with the novel Grande, which won the Legenda Junior Prize and was shortlisted for the Bancarellino Prize 2018. He has consolidated experience in several genres, from adventure novels to funny stories, but always focused on themes related to growing up.
