About Author
Julia Golding grew up on the edge of Epping Forest. After reading English at Cambridge, she joined the utländsk Office and served in Poland. Her work as a diplomat took her from the high point of town twinning in the Tatra Mountains to the low of inspecting the bottom of a Silesian coal mine.
On leaving Poland, she exchanged diplomacy for academia and took a doctorate in the literature of the English Romantic Period at Oxford. She then joined Oxfam as a lobbyist on conflict issues, campaigning at the UN and with governments to lessen the impact of conflict on civilians living in war zones.
Married with three children, Julia now lives in Oxford and works as a freelance writer. The Diamond of Drury Lane was her first novel for children. Since then she has written a number of books about katt Royal as well as historical fiction for Puffin and OUP.
