Pip Williams was born in London, grew up in Sydney, and now lives in the Adelaide Hills.

Her debut novel was the wildly successful The Dictionary of Lost Words (2020), which was based on her original research in the Oxford English Dictionary archives.

Her first work was One Italian Summer, a memoir of her family’s travels in search of the good life.
