Alex Pankhurst

Alex Pankhurst began writing when she wondered who the people were who'd 'become' plants, like the pink 'Mrs. Sinkins'. 'Who Does Your Garden Grow?' (Mackey Books) resulted. 'Scoffing the Primroses' followed, a story about an old curmudgeon who battles to save her beloved garden from becoming an industrial tip, and learns some of life's lessons. 'Extremely readable, great fun', the UK's Sunday Times said. 'Very amusing', 'An enchanting, feel-good read', were other reviews, and readers agreed, giving multiple copies to gardening friends and family. 'Art and the Revolutionary Human Fruit Machine' (Earl's Eye Publishing) the latest novel, humorously tells what happens when the modern art circus descends on a small, unsophisticated English town. 'A very well-informed satire', is The Daily Telegraph's opinion. 'Captivating' 'suspenseful' and 'funny', say readers. Alex lives in East Anglia,UK, and describes herself as a VOOB, Very Ordinary Old Bird (www.alexpankhurst.com).
