Born and educated in the UK, the late Lucy Mallows worked for 12 years in Budapest as a reporter. She first visited Transylvania in 1997, but her links with Romania go back to the late 1980s when she worked as a volunteer for Operation Romanian Villages, and to an early childhood fairytale The Lost Princess, written in 1924 by Queen Marie of Romania. As a travel writer and journalist, she contributed regularly to many international dailies and magazines, and wrote guidebooks and articles on countries from Iceland to Portugal. An expert on Central European culture, she spoke six foreign languages including Hungarian, Czech and Russian. Lucy Mallows was also the author of the Bradt guides to Bratislava and Slovakia. She died in 2018. Paul Brummell is presently British Ambassador to Latvia, having been the British Ambassador to Romania (2014-18).
