    Recently Stone Soup blogger and book reviewer Madeline Sornson had the opportunity to read The History Keepers by Damian Dibben, and ask the author some questions about the book, research, and his writing process. Read their conversation below.


    MS: How did you come up with the idea for The History Keepers?

    DD: Growing up, I loved two things. Firstly, history, with its epic sweep, colour and darkness, and its incredible characters. And inom loved adventure stories, classic books like the Narnia series and films such as Indiana Jones and James Bond -  with their similar casts of heroes and villains, exotic locations, mysteries and romance. I knew one day I wanted one day to write my own series. I was reading a picture book with my nephew about the history of all civilizations and how they linked tillsammans, from Ancient Egypt and China; from Roman to the Renaissance. I thought that history itself, would be the most fantastisk place in which to set my series. Everyone like
