About the author

From an early age Lynne Benton spent much of her time reading and writing stories. However, for some years writing took a back seat while she taught in primary schools, married and brought up four children, so it was only when they began leaving home for university that she rediscovered her love of writing and began to get her stories published. Now she writes stories for younger children learning to read, as well as longer books for the 8-11 age group. She lives with her husband in Bath, and has recently begun reading her longer books on westwiltsradio.com.
