Lucy Strange
Lucy Strange is the bestselling author of The Secret of Nightingale Wood, the Waterstones Prize-shortlisted Our Castle by the Sea, and The Island at the Edge of Night. Her books capture elements of classic children’s literature in a style that is engaging and accessible for today’s readers. Often inspired by the gothic genre, folklore and fairy tales, Lucy combines British landscapes and historical settings with touches of the supernatural, creating convincing worlds in which anything might happen… Right now, Lucy is probably sitting in her writing shed at the bottom of her garden, gazing out over the misty meadows of the Kent countryside, dreaming up her next fantastical tale.
