About the Author
Sally Prue has written lots of stories for children, some of which have been translated into different languages including Thai and Hungarian. She loves the adventure of writing, especially the scary bits and the jokes, and finds that being able to make up stories about people who live in completely different times or places is nearly as much fun as having her own TARDIS
