About the Author

TanithLee was born in North London (UK) in 1947. Because her parents wereprofessional dancers (ballroom, Latin American) and had to live where the workwas, she attended a number of truly terrible schools, and didn’t learn to read– she is also dyslectic – until almost age 8.

This was followed by various other jobs – shop assistant, waitress,clerk – plus a year at art college when she was 25-26. In 1974 this mosaicended when DAW Books of America, under the leadership of Donald A Wollheim,bought and published Lee’s The Birthgrave, and thereafter 26 of hernovels and collections.

Since then Lee has written around95 books, and over 300 short stories. 4 of her radio plays have been broadcastby the BBC; she also wrote 2 episodes (Sarcophagus and Sand) forthe TV series Blake’s 7. Some of her stories regularly get read on Radio4 Extra.

Lee writes in many styles in andacross many genres, including Horror, SF and Fantasy, Historical, Detective,Contemporary-Psychological, Children and Young Adult. Her preoccupation,though, is always people.
