Haydn Kaye

Haydn Kaye has loved history since he was very young. His mother helped to spark his interest by telling him what it was like to be a child during World War Two, and ever since then he’s often wondered how he might have acted if he’d lived in Germany under the Nazis. He went on to study history at Oxford University, before teaching and writing about historical subjects ranging from the pyramids to the Olympics, and from Queen Elizabeth I to writer Roald Dahl. His latest books for younger readers have been the life stories of Emmeline Pankhurst and Albert Einstein.
