About the Author:
Wendy spent many years teaching English at Oxford University but has taken a break from academia in order to concentrate on her writing. With a farm in North Africa, a wobbly old house in Wiltshire, 4 young children and a Berber husband, there's always plenty to write about! Mina is Wendy's
eleven-year-old daughter. She is much better at drawing than her mother. She is also better at singing, dancing, mathematics, Arabic, writing, and doing a backwards crab. (But please don't tell anyone about the writing bit, or Wendy will lose her job).
