Katherine Pangonis is a historian specialising in the medieval world of the Mediterranean and Middle East. She holds MA degrees in literature and history from Oxford University and University College London. She has a particular interest in rewriting the voices of women into the historical narrative, re-examining understudied areas of history and bringing her findings into the public eye. Travel is central to her research process, and that is how she spends most of her time.
Luminous . . . Both sophisticated and delightfully wide-ranging -- Daisy Dunn * Daily Telegraph * Pangonis's combination of familiar and unfamiliar places is one of the great attractions of the book . . . This is a vividly written book to savour and enjoy, whether criss-crossing the Mediterranean or lounging in an armchair dreaming of it -- David Abulafia * The Spectator * An anecdote-stuffed tour of lost cities that ruled the ancient world, then collapsed . . . Pangonis writes in a lively style . . . she is an amiable literary travelling companion * THE TIMES * Intriguing . . . breathtaking. The pace never lags. Pangonis is impeccably true to the reality of the time and place -- praise for QUEENS OF JERUSALEM * Wall Street Journal *
