Helen Easson

Helen used to work at Waterstones when she was at studying at the University of Manchester. She then trained to be a journalist, but had absolutely no nose for a story. She claims she was 'more likely to give someone a cup of tea and tissues than camp out on their doorstep for a good quote'. She then became a PR account manager for many years, representing brands from Hilton Hotels to the British Army and would write copy for anybody and everybody - 'you know those magazines that they poke fun at on Mock the Week?'

After years of being bolted to a desk and loathing it, she became an English teacher. She now lives in NZ with her husband and 6 month old son.

'This debut novel by H. Easson is a masterpiece of modern middle-grade children’s literature.  Kids of all ages will love the story she brings to life in this modern fairy tale.  It is original and quirky, filled with silly plot twists.'
