Carol Ann Lee

CAROL ANN LEE’s first book, Roses From The Earth: The Biography of Anne Frank, was published in fifteen languages and included a foreword by Anne’s cousin Buddy Elias, who stated: ‘Of the many authors, writers and historians who have written about Anne Frank and her father Otto Frank, Carol Ann Lee is the most knowledgeable and sets new scholarly standards.’ Her subsequent book, The Hidden Life of Otto Frank was a Guardian Book of the Week. One of Your Own: The Life and Death of Myra Hindley is the definitive study not only of Hindley, but of the Moors Murders case.
