The Christmas Activity Book

About Ellen BaileyTracey Turner

I'm equally happy writing about Greek myths scientific theory cape buffalo zombies the Babylonians or how to plait a pony's mane. I've just started writing fiction too (due to be published in 2010) and I've also written a few books for adults. I worked as an editor for many years specialising in children's non-fiction (including the Horrible Histories series) before I started writing my own books. I live in Bath with my partner and our three-year-old son.
