Gillian Cross
Gillian Cross was born on the edge of London and, for as long as she can remember, has loved reading books and stories. However, Gillian always wanted to write books of her own. When she was at school, she used to while away the long train journey home by telling her friends an interminable serial all about themselves.
Gillian has been writing children's books for over 20 years, and she has won not only the Carnegie Medal for Wolf but also the Smarties Prize and the Whitbread Children's Novel Award for The Great Elephant Chase.
