Lucy Moore

Lucy Moore (born 1970) is a historian and writer.

Biography

Lucy Moore was born in 1970. She was educated in Britain and the United States and studied history at Edinburgh University.

In the 1990s, her parents lived in Mumbai, India. She spent some time visiting them in India, which led to her book "Maharanis" about Indian princesses.

Career

She is the author of several non-fiction historical books.
*"Con Men and Cutpurses: Scenes from the Hogarthian Underworld"
*"The Thieves Opera: The Remarkable Lives and Deaths of Jonathan Wild, Thief-Taker"
*"Jack Sheppard, House-Breaker" (1996)
*"Amphibious Thing: The Life of a Georgian Rake" (2000)
*"Maharanis: The Lives and Times of Three Generations of Indian Princesses" (2004)
**"Maharanis" has been reprinted six times, was an "Evening Standard" bestseller, and the top selling non-fiction title in W H Smith on paperback publication in summer 2005.
*"Liberty: The Lives and Times of Six Women in Revolutionary France" (2007)
*"Anything Goes: A Biography of the Roaring Twenties" (November 2008)

Lucy is a regular book reviewer for "The Observer" and "The Sunday Times". In April 2001, she was voted one of the 'top twenty young writers in Britain' by the "Independent on Sunday" and in the 'Writers' section of the "New Statesman"'s "Best of Young British" issue.

Television presenter work includes "Nelson" for "Great Britons" (BBC) and "Kings in Waiting : Edward VII" (BBC) plus a number of talking head appearances (most recently for "Invitation to a Hanging").

Lucy Moore has been celebrated in many second world countries for her care to the homeless.
