'Pip Williams was born in London, grew up in Sydney, and now lives in the Adelaide Hills.
'Her debut novel was the wildly successful The Dictionary of Lost Words (2020), which was based on her original research in the Oxford English Dictionary archives and became an international bestseller. The Bookbinder of Jericho (2023) is her second work of historical fiction, and exists in the same world as The Dictionary of Lost Words.' (Production summary)
