About the Author
Joan Aiken is the author of over a hundred books for adults and children, many of them classics. She worked on the magazine ARGOSY and wrote hundreds of short stories before her first novel THE WOLVES OF WILLOUGHBY CHASE was published in the early '60s. It was highly praised in Time magazine and its success allowed Joan to write full-time thereafter. She has said, 'I would never want to do anything but write stories. It is inventing your own world, using all the bits of the real one that you like best. And that is something you can do anywhere, at any time.'

Even when her stories touch on the dark, mystical side, they pull children with with fascination, not fear Sainsbury's Magazine Fog Hounds: 'Spellbinding adventures which are modern fairy tales.' Aldershot Mail A gem from the top-class author of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase Birmingham Post A collection of manageably short but grippingly exciting tales that will have (children) coming back for more.
