edit data

Oliver Lendon is a web developer who spends his days building digital worlds and his nights inventing fantastical ones. He writes middle-grade adventures full of heart, humour, and the occasional talking goat. His favourite book growing up was Mort by Terry Pratchett, which taught him that humour and heart can share the same page. Oliver lives in the Cotswolds with his wife and daughter and drinks more tea than is probably wise.

Oliver Lendon liked Christopher Galvin's review of No Tune Ned: "No Tune Ned by Oliver Lendon is a powerful and toe-tapping adventure that teaches us that imperfection can be more important, and more human, than being precise. The story and world building are awe-inspiring and the reader will fall in love with Ned" Read more of this review »
