Biography Born in 1970 in Bedford, England, Jonathan Stroud began to write his first stories at the age of seven. After he completed his studies of English literature at the University of York, he worked in London as an editor of children's books. During the 1990s he started publishing his own works and quickly gained success. In May 1999, Jonathan published his first children's novel, Buried Fire, which was the first of a line of fantasy/mythology children's books. Among his most prominent works are the bestselling Bartimaeus Trilogy. A special feature of these novels compared to others of their genre is that Stroud upends the stereotypes of the "good magician" and the "bad demon" when the sarcastic and slightly egomaniacal djinni, Bartimaeus, describes an alternate version of the modern world in which power is held by corrupt magicians. The books in this series are The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye, and Ptolemy's Gate, his first books to be published in the United States. An Amulet of Samarkand movie is being made for release in 2009. Stroud lives in St Albans, Hertfordshire, with his 2 children and his wife Gina, an illustrator of children's books. Stroud does occasionally visit the Bartimaeus Trilogy Forum to answer frequently asked questions. *** The Bartimaeus Trilogy is a fantasy series by Jonathan Stroud and was published as a series of three novels between 2003 and 2006. The three novels are: The Amulet of Samarkand The Golem's Eye Ptolemy's Gate The title character, Bartimaeus, is a five-thousand year old djinni, a spirit of approximately mid-level power. There are five basic levels of spirits, in order of increasing power: imps, foliots, djinn, afrits and marids. There also exists a variety of subclasses in each level. Above these levels exist even more powerful entities, who are rarely summoned. Most notable of these entities are Ramuthra and Nouda. The Amulet of Samarkand is the first book in the Bartimaeus Trilogy written by Jonathan Stroud. It is well known for its liberal use of footnotes to voice the title character's sarcastic comments, as well as story background. Plot introduction A young magician's apprentice, Nathaniel, secretly summons the irascible 5,000 year old djinni, Bartimaeus, to do his bidding. The task for Bartimaeus is not an easy one- he must steal the powerful Amulet of Samarkand from Simon Lovelace, a master magician of unrivalled ruthlessness and ambition. Before long, Bartimaeus and Nathaniel are caught up in a terrifying flood of magical intrigue, rebellion and murder. Nathaniel learns quickly that he may have gotten into a plot much more in depth than he and his djinni can cope with. The story is told through the viewpoint of four characters, the magician John Mandrake (birthname Nathaniel), the djinni Bartimaeus, the commoner Kitty Jones, and, briefly, the foliot Simpkin. The Golem's Eye is the second book in the Bartimaeus Trilogy written by Jonathan Stroud. Synopsis Like the rest of the Bartimaeus Trilogy, The Golem's Eye is set in somewhat modern-day London in an alternate history in which magic is commonplace and magicians are an accepted part of society. In fact most magicians are in positions of power. They comprise the government, and commoners are treated as inferior. The main character is Nathaniel, a magician who works for the government in the ministry of internal affairs. His (unwilling) partner is the wisecracking spirit Bartimaeus. Together they embark on a quest to discover the secret behind the commoners' resistance and the mysterio
