Auriol Bishop grew up climbing trees and reading books — sometimes both at once! — and now brings the same sense of imagination and love of nature to her writing. She worked for many years in book publishing, as well as running children’s creative writing classes and even starting a book festival, before becoming an author herself. In both fiction and non-fiction, her enchanting books soothe, captivate and gently encourage us to look at the world with eyes wide open to the beauty all around.
