Caroline Perry (Author)
Caroline Perry is an Anglo-Maltese children's author and poet. As a child she sought refuge in books: libraries were both her sanctuary and her happy place. To this day, she spends much of her spare time in her local library, often with her three mini-bibliophiles in tow!
An avid traveller, Caroline has lived on three continents and visited more than 65 countries, always on the lookout for 'hidden histories', wildlife sanctuaries and off-the-map museums. She also loves photography, football and live comedy, and she's an enthusiastic (but decidedly amateur) baker with a fondness for good cakes, bad jokes, and a spot of afternoon tea.
