Emma Laybourn

After qualifying as a teacher and librarian I worked for 25 years in schools and libraries in northern England. At the same time, in a parallel career as a writer, I had seven children's books published in traditional form in the UK and USA, as well as about sixty magazine stories.

I run two websites offering free ebooks - one, for children, at www.megamousebooks.com ; while the second, www.englishliteratureebooks.com , is a home for free abridged classic novels and classic poetry collections. Keeping both sites going is proving a full-time job, but a very enjoyable one!
