Leslie Webster was Keeper of the Department of Prehistory and Europe at the British Museum from 2002-2007. She has written and lectured widely on Anglo-Saxon and related early medieval subjects, including co-authoring the catalogues of four major exhibitions on the Early Medieval period which she co-organised (The Golden Age of Anglo-Saxon Art 966-1066, The Work of Angels, The Making of England AD 600-900, and Heirs of Rome). Her popular book on The Franks Casket is due to be published by the British Museum in August 2010 (price a very modest £5.00!), and, when she is not speaking on the Staffordshire Hoard, she is currently working on a book on Anglo-Saxon art.
