About the Author

I'm Caroline Pitcher, the author of Mariana and the Merchild, Lord of the Forest, The Winter Dragon, The Littlest Owl, The Snow Whale, Time for Bed, Little One, The Time of the Lion, Mine, The Shaman Boy and many more. I love to write stories for artists, who follow up with fine illustrations. My constant inspiration is the natural world, especially Greece and beautiful Derbyshire. I've told and written stories since I was five - it's like living life twice and celebrating. My books have won the Kathleen Fidler Award, the Independent Story of the Year, and Writers' Awards by the Arts Council and East Midlands Arts. They've been shortlisted for the Stockton and Portsmouth Awards, nominated for the Carnegie Medal, the Greenaway Award, the English Association 4-11 Award and the Children's Book Award. At any time I'm working on two or three stories and get tetchy if I don't have time to write.
