About the Author

Anne Atkins has written several novels, The Lost Child, On Our Own, and A Fine and Private Place, acclaimed for their sensitivity to a child's viewpoint on an adult world. She is well known for her controversial broadcasts, particularly Thought for the Day on Radio 4's flagship Today programme - and her commonsense advice as agony aunt for the Daily Telegraph, ITV's Sunday, and as parenting advisor for femail.co.us. She has five children, who are amazed at her temerity in writing a book about parenting but think they are good advertisement for it anyway.
