Alan Brown

Alan Brown writes for children across a wide age range. For younger children there are lively picture books like HOOT AND HOLLER and I AM A DOG, and a funny and exciting first story book called THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY OF WALTER RAT. For older children there is the mythic story book KING OF THE DARK TOWER, the problem pet story A DOG OF MY OWN, and an Arthurian novel called SWORD AND SORCERY.

These books speak about the environment, family and friendship. Some are fantasy. All have entertaining story lines and colourful characters. They are available around the world in seven different languages. TURTLE'S SONG, which celebrates the life of a green turtle, gained awards in Australia.

Alan has recently written in vivid story-style about Edward Jenner and the first vaccine in THE SMALLBOX SLAYER, and about the Tolpuddle Martyrs and their transportation to Australia in TOLPUDDLE BOY. He has an upcoming picture book title with Gullane.

Alan Brown works on creative writing with children and adults in writing groups, schools and libraries.
