About the author

Benjamin Basham has long suffered from the chronic illness known as Bookwormitis. His first loves were a picture-book retelling of Saint George and the Dragon alongside a National Geographic issue on the Titanic. It did not take long for him to try his hand at writing some of his own stories, culminating in a thirty-five page, handwritten scribble that is best consigned to the rubbish bin. He succeeded by thirteen at his first novel (also of questionable quality), and has never ceased dabbling in new tales since.
