This overlooked writer is England’s earliest known adventure author, a cultural innovator who pioneered a style of writing in her contemporary language: the French of England.

Her adventure stories will be explored in art, drama and music activities.

Anticipate shapeshifters, werewolves and imaginative and determined female protagonists. Dame Marie’s lai stories are populated by a variety of inspirational characters forging a life to be true to self.

Elucidating life in the one hundred years after the Norman invasion, these vivid stories speak to contemporary experience through female decision making, female writers and young adults challenging conventions and addressing diversity.
