DAISY WOOD worked in publishing for some years before leaving to concentrate on her own writing. Her mother was a child during the Second World War, and it's a period that has always fascinated her. 'The Clockmaker's Wife', 'The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris', 'The Royal Librarian' and 'The Banned Books of Berlin' are all set during those tumultuous times - as is her novel, 'What We Did in the War', published under the name of Jennie Walters. Happiest rootling about the London Library under the pretext of research, Daisy divides her time between London and Dorset, and can often be seen chasing a rescue pointer through various city parks with a Frenchie and sometimes her son's Basset hound in tow.
