Over Janet Foxley
I was born in Leicester towards the end of the Second World War. My father was away in India, and I didn’t meet him till I was nearly two. When he came home he went back to working in a bank and we moved every two or three years to different towns in the north of England.

I went to five different schools, bears then to Newcastle University, where I read a lot of books in German, a few books in French and Goldilocks and the Three Bears in Norwegian.

After university I lived in Germany for a while, then I came back to England, got married and had two children, who are now grown up.

Today I live in an old farmhouse with several large outhouses where my husband makes sculptures, and I sometimes make paintings.

I used to tell myself stories when I was still too young to write them down. At school my teacher embarrassed me by reading my stories to the class. I started writing children’s books when my own children were small, but it was another thirty years before any of them were published.
