After he completed his studies of English literature at the University of York, he worked in London as an editor for the Walker Books store. To escape boredom he would occupy himself with books and stories. Between the ages seven and nine he was often ill, so he spent most of his days in the hospital or in his bed at home. Stroud grew up in St Albans where he enjoyed reading books, drawing pictures, and writing stories.
Jonathan Anthony Stroud is an author of fantasy books, mainly for children and youths. But is it the Resistance again, or something more dangerous still? To uncover the perpetrators, Nathanial must take desperate measures: a journey to the enemy city of Prague and-worse-summoning once again the troublesome, enigmatic, and quick – witted djinni Bartimaeus.Ī thrilling sequel to the best-selling Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem’s Eye is a roller-coaster ride of magic, adventure, and political skullduggery, in which the fates of Nathaniel, Bartimaeus, and Kitty explosively collide. As the pressure mounts, he is distracted by a new series of terrifying attacks in the capital. It’s no easy task: the ringleader Kitty and her friends remain elusive, and Nathaniel’s job-and perhaps his life-are soon at risk.
There is seemingly nothing he cannot handle, until he is asked to deal with the growing Resistance movement, which is disrupting London life with its thefts and raids. At only fourteen, Nathaniel is a rising star: a young magician who is quickly climbing the ranks of the government.
