Anna Branford was born on the Isle of Man, but spent her childhood in Sudan, Papua New Guinea
and Australia. Once, when she was very itchy with the chicken pox, her dad read her The Very Hungry Caterpillar thirty times in a row. Anna lectures in Sociology at Victoria University, Australia, and spends her evenings writing stories, kept company by a furry black cat called Florence.
