A rather lonely childhood is a wonderful thing for a writer. My mother believed, and I agree with her, that children are amazingly open to new words and new ideas \u2013much more so than adults &#8211; so there is really no limit to what they can absorb. She would have been shocked by the concept of \u2018young adult fiction\u2019. Why patronise young people by feeding them pap<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>When did your interest in writing really develop and who encouraged you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t really go to school until I was 10 \u2013 a little country school where there were only two classes, the Big Ones and the Little Ones. The wonderful woman who taught the Big Ones used to read Lord of the Rings aloud to us every morning. Most of the rest of the time we were writing poetry. My poems were luridly apocalyptic visions. There was a bit of French conversation. I don\u2019t remember any maths lessons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gabriele D&#8217;Annunzio\u202fin\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=1507983\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>The Pike<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u202fwas an appalling man but he lived a fascinating life. Were you aware of him before you selected him as the subject for your biography?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each of my books has grown out of years of thinking around a subject. I spent some time in Italy in my teens, so yes, I was aware of d\u2019Annunzio, his beautiful poetry and his ugly politics. <em>The Pike<\/em> followed on from my previous book \u2013 <em>Heroes<\/em>. In both books I was writing about the way the glamour and exhilaration of heroism and hero-worship shades into toxic politics and the cult of violence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you choose a subject do you know roughly how you are going to approach telling their story or does the structure fall into place as you write?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each time I write a book, I have to invent a brand-new structure.

With fiction (I\u2019ve written a novel, <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2140365\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Peculiar Ground<\/em><\/a>, and a collection of short stories, <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2561195\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Fabulous<\/em><\/a>) you\u2019re creating your own material so you have more freedom.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your latest book\u202f <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3601249\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>The Scapegoat<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u202f is published in October. Can you tell us a little about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about George Villiers, who arrived at King James I\u2019s court in 1614 as the fourth son of an obscure country gentleman with only one coat, and died, murdered, fourteen years later, having become the Duke of Buckingham and the richest and most powerful non-royal person in the country.<\/p>\n<p>His story allows me to write about sex and gender and love at a time when thinking about those things was very different from ours. About war and pacifism: King James kept England out of the Thirty Years War but as soon as he was dead Buckingham plunged into it. About confrontations between parliament and would-be absolute monarchs. And along with those big topics, I write about the smaller ones that bring the past to life \u2013 about fabulously expensive suits and flowers and jewels and babies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Duke of Buckingham was described on his tombstone as The Enigma of the World. Was this an advantage or a disadvantage for a biographer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Buckingham was hated by the public. In the last three years of his life he started two unnecessary wars and so caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people. A popular rhyme prays God to \u2018take this slime away\u2019. But those who knew him personally all agree he was charming. And though he was hated for his recklessly aggressive foreign policy, initially the public loved him for it. They were bored of peace and excited by ideas of honour and chivalry. They failed to understand how much war would cost, in money, and in lives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200dYou are one of the speakers at the Southwold Literary Festival on Sunday 10 November. What can your audience expect?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be talking about Buckingham\u2019s life, and showing pictures. He rose to the pinnacle of Jacobean society on the strength of his looks, and he wanted those looks recorded. He posed for some thirty portraits \u2013 to artists including Van Dyck, Rubens, Van Honthorst. He was also a great collector. His pictures by Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, del Sarto were smuggled out of the country during the Commonwealth and bought by a Habsburg Archduke. They now form the core of the Italian collection in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s next for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m writing about the
