Lucy Worsley is Joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces. Her biographies of Agatha Christie, Queen Victoria and Jane Austen were all Sunday Times bestsellers.. She presents BBC Radio 4's Lady Killers and her many TV documentaries include Lucy Worsley Investigates and Killing Sherlock.

Author of "Cavalier: The Story Of A 17th Century Playboy" Lucy Worsley approaches the figure of Jane Austen through the unique lens of the places that meant the most to her, going through the rooms in which Austen produced her greatest works. Popular conceptions of Austen are challenged by some of the information, such as the matter of Austen having five different marriage prospects.
