Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography

Mari Griffith turned to writing historical fiction in retirement after a working lifetime of presenting, producing and directing a variety of programmes for the BBC and other broadcasters. Her first novel Root of the Tudor Rose became an Amazon bestseller, soon followed by The Witch of Eye , the story behind the most sensational treason trial of the 15th century. In this, her first venture into non-fiction, Mari’s liking for a good story is still evident, as each of the Pretty Maids provides a wonderful tale to tell.
