Mary Hoffman says that two places have shaped her life: Oxford, where she writes, and Italy, which has inspired much of her fiction, including David and Stravaganza. Although history is a passion, Mary is also a much-loved picture book author, best known for Amazing Grace and her Great Big Book collaborations with Ros Asquith. Amazing Grace celebrated its quarter century in 2015 and is still going strong
