Pip Williams
Pip Williams was born in London and grew up in Sydney and calls the Adelaide Hills home.
She has written a nonfiction book about her family’s travels searching for the good life to wide acclaim, and co-written another nonfiction book. Pip has also published book reviews, flash fiction, travel articles, and poetry.
Her inspiration for “The Dictionary of Lost Words” came after reading and enjoying “The Professor and the Madman” by Simon Winchester, which was a book about the relationship between James Murray, the Oxford English Dictionary’s editor, and one of the volunteers that supplied examples of how words had been used in literature. Pip became fascinated by the process of compiling the Dictionary, however when she had finished the novel, there were some niggling questions that she couldn’t find the answers to.
Like if everybody involved in defining these words were men, how well did this first edition of the OED represent the way that women used words?

Pip Williams on the power of knowledge
PIP WILLIAMS is the internationally bestselling author of her debut novel The Dictionary of Lost Words. She returns to the same world in her latest companion book The Bookbinder of Jericho, which is a powerful and moving novel about bindery women at the Oxford University Press during World War I.
As AKINA HANSEN writes, it’s a fascinating story of knowledge, class and gender.
Access to information and basic education is deemed a fundamental human right and yet for millennia access to knowledge has been restricted and denied to certain groups in society. It’s within this space that author Pip Williams began asking herself, ‘Who gets to make knowledge? Who gets to access it? And what happens when knowledge is denied?’
The Bookbinder of Jericho is Pip’s second novel, and a companion story to her beloved and internationally acclaimed novel, The Dictionary of Lost Words, which tells the story of the making of the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary and the gendered nature of language.
Her second novel returns to the same world of The Dictionary of Lost Words. Instead of focusing on the dictionary and the middl
