Ed Wood is not a household name. He isn’t a war hero, an eminent politician or an aristocratic socialite with a sprawling estate. He has received no great honours and that’s exactly what he wants. Growing up in a family of characters that were all those things and more, Ed gained plenty of stories, some fascinating insights and a sense of maverick rebellion to be the first Edward Wood to be completely ordinary. He followed his curiosity where others before him had followed tradition, taking him all over the world and between a variety of careers.
