At the unusually young age of twelve Harriet Castor had her first children’s book, Fat Puss and Friends, accepted for publication by Penguin. Since then she has written over forty books, both fiction and non-fiction, for children and adults. She completed a History degree at Cambridge University, specialising in the Tudor period, and since graduating has had a variety of jobs, including teaching English in Prague, and spending three years with the Royal Ballet as a Benesh Notator. Harriet now lives in Bristol with her husband and two daughters, and writes full time.
