He has been described as Welsh, and some of his books have Welsh settings, but there does not seem to be any evidence for Welsh origins. ==Biography== Vaughan Wilkins was born in Camberwell, London. His father was a priest (born in Nottingham) and his mother a voice teacher (born in London).〔http://reading19001950.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/vaughan-wilkins-1890-1959/〕 He married Mary Isabel Stanistreet and had two children. He spent some time working as a journalist for the Daily Express. Wilkins was noted for his novel ''And So-Victoria'' about Queen Victoria.〔(TIME magazine review of "And So-Victoria" )〕 ''Fanfare for a Witch'' focuses on intrigue in the court of George II.〔 "Have You Read..."Fanfare for a Witch" by Vaughan Wilkins".
