About the Author

He is best known for his hugely successful children's books including Two Weeks with the Queen, Bumface, Once, Then and Now.
Review
Morris Gleitzman has a rare gift for writing very funny stories and an even rarer gift of wrapping very serious stories inside them * The Guardian * Morris Gleitzman gives form to human faith - gives it a clear sweet voice and a gaze of perfect directness. His story hovers above the fathomless atrocities it recounts, speaking the truth simply, to devastating effect. 'Once' and 'Then' are books for all ages and all times * Meg Rosoff, author of How I Live Now *
