If time travel could be achieved... video clips of Kitty's horsing accident in the Mall would have broken the internet, shut TikTok down, gone viral.

Reading the first few pages of this absorbing biography, it is hard to believe that the authors haven't concocted a wild historical spoof, for this truly is an amazing story.

BIO
I often feel as if I spend my life with one foot in the present and one in the past, and have a particular love for the long eighteenth century. History, reading, writing and story-telling are my passions, and I hold an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Lincoln. Having co-authored several historical biographies and a collection of true tales, my latest book is a biography of the Georgian era’s most fascinating woman, Kitty Fisher.
Kitty Fisher: The First Female Celebrity is available now, from your favourite bookshop or direct from my publisher, Pen and Sword Books. I can’t wait to share the story of Kitty's life with you.
