Bearing in mind that I…


have had trolls living under my bed,

devoured all six volumes of A Thousand and One Nights,

make dolls as a hobby,

grow thorn apples but not carrots,

spit three times if a black cat crosses my path,

love wild mushrooms fried in butter,

and would rather people-watch than climb the Eiffel Tower!



… is it any wonder I became a children’s author?

If it were possible I would have a Kangaroo, the gentlest of animals. But my borrowed sheep are also lovely.
