  • 5 stars across 6 books
Richard Kidd's first novel, THE GIANT GOLDFISH ROBBERY (Corgi Yearling), was very well received and shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award for first novels. Richard has previously also written picture books, including ALMOST FAMOUS DAISY, which was shortlisted for the Mother Goose Award.

Richard Kidd was formerly a full-time artist and still occasionally finds time to create arresting large abstract paintings.
