Julia Golding’s award-winning adventure series is perfect for fans of Katherine Woodfine, Robin Stevens, and J.T. Williams. This HarperCollins Children’s Classics edition features special bonus material.

Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and shortlisted for the Costa Children's Book Award.

'I am Cat Royal – Orphan, Adventurer, Actress…

Reader, you are set to embark on an adventure about one hidden treasure, two bare-knuckle boxers, three enemies, and four hundred and thirty-eight rioters. I was brought up in Drury Lane, so I have become accustomed to a life less than ordinary. But this turn of events, I have to say, surprised even me. Follow me, and I will show you in The Diamond of Drury Lane.'

Exciting, funny, and packed with adventure… Cat Royal never fails to stir up trouble wherever she goes. Julia Golding’s award-winning adventure series has all the ingredients of a Philippa Gregory book for children aged 9 years and up.

This Classic edition features cover artwork by Chloe Bonfield and special bonus material:

  • Q&A with Julia Golding
  • Journey with Cat through 1790s London
  • Cat's Slang: the origins of some of the unusual language found in the book
  • Fascinating facts about the use of special effects in the 18th-century theatre
