Toni Mount is a historian and author from Gravesend, Kent, England. She is known as the author of non-fiction medieval history books including Everyday Life in Medieval London.[1] and the Sebastian Foxley series[2] of medieval murder mysteries.
She obtained a Certificate in Education in Post Compulsory Education and Training from the University of Greenwich. In 1999 she started teaching history to adults for the Workers' Educational Association[3] in West Wickham Kent, going on to run classes in Petts Wood, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Rochester, ultimately running classes independently in Rochester and Gravesend.[4] Mount also gives talks to groups and societies on a variety of subjects, the most popular being based on her 'Medieval Housewives' book[5] Her research into the history of London also examined the Great Fire of 1212.[6] [7]
Having self-published several books she sent an idea[8] to Amberley Books who subsequently published Everyday Life in Medieval London.[9] Amberley went on to publish several other titles by Mount including The Medieval Housewife[10] A Year in the Life of Medieval England[11] (2016) and The World of Isaac Newton[12] (2020). In 2015 Amberley also published Dragon's Blood and Willow Bark: the mysteries of medieval medicine.[13] When the paperback was published in 2016 the name was changed to Medieval Medicine: Its Mysteries and Science although the eBook remains under the original title.
In 2015 she was interviewed by Robert Elms on BBC Radio[14] and started writing for Tudor Life Magazine[15] and created online courses[16] for the website medievalcourses.com.[17] Madeglobal Publishing also went on to publish her Sebastian Foxley murder mystery novels.[18]
