Caroline Lawrence, author of the Roman Mysteries, will be guest of Our Lady’s Abingdon Senior School on 7 February. Over 1000 local children will be listening to her talk about her books and where she finds her ideas.
This event, jointly organised by the Librarians from Our Lady’s Abingdon, Abingdon and St Helen & St Katharine schools, aims to invite children from local schools who may not have the opportunity to see a ‘big name’ author. Children from 20 local primary and secondary schools will hear one of the writer's three talks during this 3rd annual Joint Schools' Author Visit.
Caroline Lawrence will dress as a Roman lady and bring some artefacts to bring to life that period of ancient history. A classics scholar, her writing is historically accurate as well as hugely entertaining.
