About the Author
Rose Macaulay was born on 11 August 1881 at Rugby. She read history at Oxford but was primarily interested in writing. Her first novel, ABBOTS VERNEY, was published when she was 25; then followed such celebrated novels as POTTERISM (1920), CREWE TRAIN (1926) and THEY WERE DEFEATED (1932). The Second World War interrupted this success - her home was destroyed by a bomb, she was bereaved more than once and she suffered serious ill health. However in the 1950s she overcame her misfortunes. Her novel THE TOWERS OF TREBIZOND won her the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1956, and in 1958 she was created a Dame of the British Empire.
