About the author

Lynda Murphy lives in York with her husband, daughter and Jack Russell Terrier - a match for any of the canine heroines in literature. Spurred on by Polanski's Oliver Twist, she has recently overcome a stubborn prejudice against Dickens and now bows to his greatness. With A-level-like enthusiasm, she is currently comparing and contrasting him with an established hero, Thomas Hardy. She balances all this weightiness by indulging her daughter's obsession with fairy stories, cautionary verse and A.A. Milne.
