I used to be a children's author. As such I wrote a fair bundle of stories, a quantity of 'educational texts', and around 45 books of various kinds, from picture books for the very young to novels for teenagers. Books of mine were translated into over 20 languages, only sixteen of which I speak. One (Young Dracula) was the inspiration for the five BBC-TV series of that name. However, in time I stopped writing for children and turned to other kinds of writing (see the books below).

But something unexpected happened recently. It came to my notice that a particular children's series of mine struck a chord with young readers of the time it was published - children who, adults now, like the idea of it being reworked a little to fit the mid-Twenty-Twenties and offered to today's young readers as if they - the books - were as new as the children themselves.
