Carolyn Meyer (born June 8, 1935) is an American author of novels for children and young adults.
The typical genre for her work is historical fiction, one of her more popular projects being the Young Royals series, each novel of which tells the story of a different crown princess (duchess, in the case of Catherine de Medici, and lady, in the case of Anne Boleyn) of her home country; either Egypt, England, Italy, Scotland, Austria and France.
For example, one of Carolyn Meyer's works is Duchessina, which is the story of the troubled childhood and young adulthood of the Italian duchess Catherine de' Medici up to her meeting with Crown Prince Henry of France. One recent novel in the Young Royals is Victoria Rebels, which is about the teenage Princess Victoria of Kent and her budding relationship with Prince Albert of Germany.
