Cadogan: A Chelsea Family (Cadogan/Unicorn, 2024)

In recent years I have been busy writing this commissioned biography, which was published in the UK in September and will be published in the US in December 2024.
ISBN 978-1912690909, 504 pp, fully illustrated throughout

Told with affection and humour, interweaving world events and private dramas over a thousand years, this book brings to life the story of one family that is also to the story of the British Isles.

I led a small team and attended commissioning meetings, submitting and reviewing proposals.
