Thomas Keneally was born in 1935 and was educated in Sydney, Australia. He trained for several years for the Catholic priesthood but did not take orders. Although Ned Kelly and the City of Bees is his first book for children, he is one of Australia's foremost novelists and has won many prizes for his adult fiction. Among these books are Bring Larks and Heroes, which won the Miles Franklin award for the best Australian novel of 1967, The Survivor, which was the joint winner of the 1970 Captain Cook Literary Award, The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, which was on the short list for the Booker Prize in 1972, and Gossip From the Forest, runner-up for the Booker Prize in 1975. Thomas Keneally is married, with two daughters, and lives in Sydney.
