About The Author

Peter Littger

Peter Littger is a journalist and author with an abiding interest in British history and culture. He studied classical, medieval and modern history, as well as political economy in Berlin and holds a graduate degree from the London School of Economics. His recent journalism has focused on the intersections of English and German culture and on the relationship between the two languages, a theme he also explored in a bestselling-book series. Littger’s interest in the property of the British Crown began with an investigation for the news magazine Der Spiegel.

Katrin Unger is a Berlin-based photographer. She studied geography at the University of Dresden, and her work as a human-centred design consultant and entrepreneur has since taken her to Brazil, Ethiopia, Ghana, Ireland and South Africa. Unger explores photography with different cultures and communities, and she undertook formal training at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie in Berlin.
