Conn Iggulden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conn Iggulden (* 1971 ) is a British author who writes historical novels and children's books.

Life

Conn Iggulden taught English at London University and was a teacher for seven years before starting historical novels. Iggulden is married and has one son. He lives in Hertfordshire with his family.

Conn Iggulden is best known for the Imperator tetralogy, of which each of the four previously published parts was at the top of the English bestseller lists for weeks. The novels are about the life of Gaius Julius Caesar ; however, the historical facts are handled quite freely. The production company Spitfire has secured an option to film the series. Conn Iggulden has also announced that he is thinking about a fifth part that will be set after the events of the fourth volume.

After the release of the last volume of the Imperator, Iggulden began work on a new series that revolves around the lives of the Mongolian khans Genghis and Kublai .
