| Biography Theresa Breslin is an award-winning librarian and writer with a special interest in children's literature. She was born and brought up in a small town in the middle of Scotland close to castles, old burial grounds and the Roman Wall, all of which helped fuel an active imagination as a child, further developed by a love of reading. Her books have been praised for their elements of strong setting and sense or place and she acknowledges that she draws on the dramatic landscape of Scotland, its history and its culture. |
