ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Caroline Wagstaff, a lifelong Windsor Resident, went to school at Clewer Green and Brigidine Convent and attended Windsor and Maidenhead College before starting work at a local Windsor estate agent. For the next 20 years her career involved marketing, event and communications project management for a number of international IT companies before inventing the BackBliss range of back products (back scratchers and lotion applicators). Caroline was a finalist in the British Female Inventor of the Year competition in 2003 and received a GWIIN top ten award in the same year (Global Women Inventors and Innovation Network). She's appeared on the BBC2 show Dragons' Den, ITV's London Tonight and Loose Lips with Melinda Messenger and Richard Arnold and is a regular contributor on the Anne Diamond show on BBC Radio Berkshire and often entertains audiences with her story of how the book came about.
Caroline commented 'My book about Windsor evolved from another project, I certainly had no intention of becoming an author. Buts it's been great fun collaborating with so many enthusiastic fellow Windsorians.'
The book is currently available throughout Windsor including Windsor Castle, The Visitor Information Centre, Waterstones and the Royal Windsor Farm Shop as well as a number of local hotels.

Just wanted to say what a fantastic little gem your book Windsor is. We bought a guide book whilst visiting Windsor Castle and your book as well. The guide book was great but your book really made us feel we knew something others didn't about Windsor. We even told some friends over dinner something they didn't know, and they had lived here for 40 years!!!

Caroline you've done a great job again. More pages and a full update. The picture of the Irish Guards statue in the High is marvelous.

I bought this book at Windsor Castle during a recent trip to see some family who moved to Windsor. I sat down and read it in one go. It is really full of interesting bits and pieces about Windsor, I almost feel like a local myself (I'm from Boston, Mass, USA). They are all getting a copy this holiday.
