Children’s author Caroline Lawrence read Classics at UC Berkeley & Newnham College Cambridge and also studied Hebrew & Jewish Studies at University College, London. She is best known for her million-selling series of historical novels for children, The Roman Mysteries. In 2007 & 2008, the BBC made a glossy children's TV series based on these books. In 2009, Caroline won the Classical Association Prize for 'a significant contribution to the public understanding of Classics'. Passionate about Latin and the world of ancient Rome, she is thrilled to be in a ‘writer’s room’ full of historians, archaeologists and creative trailblazers working on a new addition to the beloved universe of Caecilius.
