A Fool and His Money by Ann Wroe

Rodez, a town in south-central France was divided for centuries by a feud between the local count and the bishop, and the strange case of Peyre Marques, a merchant who forgot where he had buried his gold. Then, in 1370, two workmen discovered a hoard of coins while unblocking a drain.

Ann Wroe wrote her first book when she was seven years old. She graduated from Oxford University with a degree in history and went on to work for the BBC World Service, where she covered the final years of communism in Europe. Lives, Lies, and the Iran-Contra Affair are two of her books, as is A Fool and His Money, a story about a scandal in a French village during the Hundred Years' War. Her husband and three sons live in London with her.
