Livres par Hilary Hawkes

Hilary Hawkes grew up in Fareham, Hampshire. She loved listening to stories and started to write her own at the age of eight. By the time she was sixteen, Hilary had already written two novels of 70,000 words each, but she couldn't find anyone to publish them. She persevered and, when she reached nineteen, Hilary "got lucky" - a magazine recognised her as a brilliant storyteller and, at last, dozens of her newest short stories were published. Hilary took a degree in English and Publishing, and started work as an editorial assistant. Later, as a mother of three, she discovered the joys of assisting in a nursery class - subsequently training as a Montessori teacher - and began to write stories again. Two of these, '125, Go!' and 'There's a Grandad in my Soup!' - were published by Scripture Union Publishing and a number of contributions by Hilary have been included in books published by Learning Development Aids (LDA). She now lives in Oxfordshire with her husband, Peter, and sons David, Richard and Matthew. In between teaching, being Mum-the-Taxi-driver, walking Hattie the dog and doing things like mending the ceiling where the electrician fell through, she's thinking up lots more stories for us all...
