  • Caroline Lawrence
    Caroline Lawrence Caroline taught at Dolphin Christian School in London, and based the characters of her first novel on an amalgam of students in that school. During that year she was short-listed by a national newspaper as preacher of the year. The Principal at that time was Sue Rogers, wife of Tim Rogers, (Beacon Media resource writer). Tim tried, unsuccessfully, to hire her as art teacher for the pioneering staff of Thames Christian College, his new secondary school. Caroline writes high quality novels, the first series were screened on UK TV and are for sale as DVDs. Her Roman Mysteries introduce the shepherd god who progressively gets know as Jesus, the leader of an emerging Jewish cult. From there a gospel presentation is revealed, in a way that is a Trojan Horse for non-Christian schools and audiences. Her novels have been translated into many languages and been a huge success. A set should be in every Christian school library. Firstly, because they are high quality literature, and secondly because they platform a learning of the ancient world at the time of the disciples and spread of Christianity around the Roman Empire. The narratives are fast moving and attractive to readers. (See www.dolphinschool.org.uk and www.thameschristiancollege.org.uk ) Caroline is an English American author, best known for The Roman Mysteries series of historical novels for children. The series is about a Roman girl called Flavia and her three friends: Nubia (a freed slave girl), Jonathan (a shunned Jewish boy) and Lupus (a beggar boy without a tongue).

  • East, West, and Finding Yourself in Caroline Lawrence's “Roman
    chapter 25 East, West, and Finding Yourself in Caroline Lawrence’s “Roman Mysteries” Helen Lovatt Introduction Caroline Lawrence’s “Roman Mysteries” series uses an ancient Roman setting to explore themes of identity for her four young detective characters. While they do not visit Eastern Europe, ideas of East and West, centre and periphery, are important in making sense of their journeys, both literal and emotional. This popular series of detective novels for children aged eight and above was written in the United Kingdom between 2001 and 2009 by an American living in London, and has also become a well-received bbc television series.1 The theme of “finding yourself”—going away in order to grow up and gain self-knowledge—has a particular importance in children’s literature.2 While one can argue that it lies at the heart of much literature, children are seen as not-yet-complete humans, who need to develop more than adults. So E.L. Konigsburg, in From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler (1967) sends Claudia Kincaid to live in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in order to better understand herself, to find the something different inside her which al- lows her to continue living her life. So Lucy goes through the wardrobe to Nar- nia, and Bilbo goes on a journey in The Hobbit. Arguably, this theme is already 1 The bbc series consisted of 10 episodes, released in 2007–2008, directed by Paul Marcus (5 episodes, 2007), Jill Robertson (3 episodes, 2008), and Marcus D.F. White (2 episodes, 2008).

  • Jews and Jewishness in British Children's Literature Madelyn J. Travis
    Almost English: Jews and Jewishness in British Children’s Literature Madelyn J. Travis A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Newcastle University 2011 Abstract This thesis examines constructions of Jews and Jewishness in British children’s literature from the eighteenth century to the present. It demonstrates that this literature has often sought to determine the place of Jews in Britain, and that this endeavour is linked to attempts to define the English sense of self. This discourse is often politicised, with representations influenced as much by current events and political movements as by educational objectives. The main focus of the thesis is on works published from World War II through 2010, with Chapter One providing a historical context for the later material and offering an overview of key motifs from the eighteenth century to World War II. Works by authors such as Maria Edgeworth, E. Nesbit and Rudyard Kipling are discussed alongside rare texts which have not been examined before. Chapters on gender, refugees, multiculturalism and heroes and villains reveal developments as well as continuities from earlier periods. The chapter on multiculturalism draws on unpublished interviews with authors including Adele Geras, the late Eva Ibbotson and Ann Jungman. The sometimes competing and conflicting representations in literature which has been influenced by the impact of the Enlightenment, the Empire, the Holocaust, cultural diversity and 9/11 demonstrate that there has been no teleological progression over the centuries from anti-Semitism to acceptance, or from ‘outsider’ to ‘insider’.

  • Adventures and Mysteries of the Roman Empire Facini Arcanaque Romanorum
    Adventures and Mysteries of the Roman Empire Facini arcanaque romanorum Discovering Roman Civilization through the Stories of Caroline Lawrence Andrew Davies My Project Context I am a 2nd Year undergraduate student at the University of Roehampton studying KS1/2 Primary Education with QTS. My subject specialism is Music. I carried out this project whilst on school placement at Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy in the London Borough of Sutton. I worked with a whole class of Year 4 pupils (girls and boys aged 8-9) across the first half of their Summer Term in April and May 2019. My objective in carrying out this project was to promote and utilize RfP to engage pupils’ enthusiasm and increase pupils’ knowledge and understanding of our class’ summer term topic of Ancient Rome & The Romans. The books I employed to achieve this were the ‘Roman Mysteries’ stories by Caroline Lawrence. Stories ‘permeate everyday life – to explain, persuade, argue or entertain’ (Bearne & Reedy, 2018:63): it is unsurprising therefore that narrative is seen as central to learning (Bruner, 2003; Cremin et al, 2017). Research Medwell et al (2017:187) argue stories help children to ‘make sense of the world’ and ‘experience the world vicariously…learning from the experiences of Evidence others’. Protherough (1989:7) details the motivational value of fiction: ‘stories offer enjoyment, pleasure…and develop positive attitudes towards reading’. How can Glasgow & Farrell (2007:62) identify that such motivation leads to children’s ‘self-efficacy’ as readers, exercising choice and independence about what Stories and they read and why. Despite this, Cremin (2014:1) reports that RfP is ‘too often seen as an optional RfP help extra in education: a desirable goal’ but ‘not a core professional Children responsibility’.

  • Dreams in the Roman Mysteries
    Fantastical History: Dreams in The Roman Mysteries Juliette Harrisson, Newman University, Birmingham Abstract: When it comes to dreams and prophecies, where is the dividing line between realist historical fiction and historical fantasy? This paper explores Caroline Lawrence's use of prophetic dreams in her historical detective series for children, The Roman Mysteries, and asks how and why the author is able to weave a fantastical element of this nature into a realist series. This allows us to consider wider questions concerning what sets fantasy apart as a genre and how historical fiction in particular can embrace certain types of genre slippage without losing its essentially realist identity. Keywords: Romans, Roman Mysteries, children's literature, fantasy, genre, his- torical detective fiction This paper is about a meeting-point of genres; a literary crossroads at which fantasy, history, religion and literature are combined. It started with a simple question – why did one particular author include Greco-Roman style prophetic dreams in a series of otherwise mimetic historical novels for children? The initial impetus for this article came out of a short e-mail correspondence with children’s author Caroline Lawrence some years ago. I was researching the use of dream reports and dream sequences in Greek and Latin literature of the Roman period (eventually resulting in the publication of Dreams and Dreaming in the Roman Empire: Cultural Memory and Imagination; Harrisson 2013). Lawrence includes several dream sequences in her series of historical children’s detective stories, The Roman Mysteries. Several are prophetic and some even revive the ancient literary trope of the message dream, which tends to be more rare in modern literature.
