Allan Massie was born in Singapore in 1938 and brought up in Aberdeenshire, before reading History at Trinity College, Cambridge, and spending thirteen years as a teacher. His first novel, Change and Decay in All Around I See, was published in 1978. In the years since then he has written seventeen novels, including an historical series set in ancient Rome.
