The Lost Bear Cub

Holly was born and raised in southwest London, but lived for a long time in Suffolk. When she was about 10 years old, Holly fell in love with Greek Mythology, which led her to learn Latin and Greek and later to study Classics at university. She worked for five years as an editor of children's fiction before deciding that writing was more fun (and much easier to do from the sofa). She currently lives in Reading with her husband and three children. She is the author of numerous successful books, translated into several languages.
