They walked with Megan Larkin round Chelsea to find the right house. Linda and Ann did most of the research work. My second book, CECILY'S PORTRAIT is a direct sequel to LIZZIE'S WISH and Lizzie herself celebrates her fiftieth birthday in 1895 under the tree she planted in 1857. She told me about that, and I immediately saw that if I planted a tree in the first book (as it was at that time) then it could grow and flourish through the whole series. At that time, Linda had planted a walnut in a pot to give as a present to David Fickling.
I chose to write about the Victorian period and in particular I was interested in writing (even if only tangentially) about Florence Nightingale and the War in the Crimea. It was, Linda tells me, Megan's idea to link the stories through the idea of a house in London with a girl living in it at different periods of history. FLASHBACKS did have a more boyish focus at that time. Linda suggested that Megan might commission a series not unlike the A & C Black FLASHBACKS, but with girls as the main characters.
