Mike Rendell has written thirteen books, all of them about Georgian England. His interest in the period was inspired by a fascinating cache of papers left by his 18th century ancestors. His other books with Pen & Sword include: In Bed with the Georgians, Trailblazing Women of the Georgian Era, Pirates & Privateers in the 18th Century, Crusoe, Castaways and Shipwrecks in the Perilous Age of Sail, Sex and Sexuality in Georgian Britain, and most recently Georgian Harlots and Whores.
When not writing, he spends his time talking on Georgian topics both in Britain and abroad, and in particular on board cruise ships. He travels extensively but his home is in Dorset.
