Critics Review
Sheer fun.– The Times
Praise for Michael Pearce’s previous books: ‘Effortlessly funny and engaging. Packed, as ever, with fact, flavour and the kind of insouciance which makes history lighter than air’. Literary Review
Continues to refresh the parts others seldom reach. - ObserverLight touch and witty dialogue … a continuing delight. - Sunday TelegraphSheer fun. - The TimesMichael Pearce
Michael Pearce was raised in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, where his fascination for language began. He later trained as a Russian interpreter but moved away from languages to follow an academic career, first as a lecturer in English and the History of Ideas, and then as an administrator. He has a strong interest in human rights and in languages, both of which feature indirectly in his new series. Michael Pearce now lives in South-West London.
