Brian David Sibleyis an English writer. He is author of over 100 hours of radio drama and has written and presented hundreds of radio documentaries, features and weekly programmes. Among his adaptations is the 1981 version of The Lord of the Rings for radio. A columnist and author, he is widely known as the author of many film “making of” books, including those for the Harry Potter series, and The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.
