Philippa Gregory - National Book Festival 2008

Philippa Gregory's first novel, Wideacre, was written as she completed her Ph.D. in 18th century literature, and it became an instant worldwide best-seller. She has gone on to publish more than 20 novels, many reflecting her knowledge of periods of history, particularly the Tudor period and the 18th century. The award-winning The Other Boleyn Girl (2002) was adapted for the BBC, released as a major motion picture in the United States in 2008 and immediately rose to the top of all major best-seller lists. Her latest book is The Other Queen (Simon & Schuster, September 2008). She lives in England.
