Claire Fayers has been writing stories all her life. She grew up in South Wales where, thanks to her local library, she developed a lifelong obsession with myth and magic. She now lives in the Welsh mountains with her husband and two disappointingly unmagical cats. Her books include The Accidental Pirates (shortlisted for the Children's Book Award), Storm Hound (winner of the Tir na nOg award) and Welsh Fairy Tales, Myths and Legends (nominated for the Carnegie medal). Her latest book, Welsh Giants, Ghosts and Goblins dives into some of the weird and wonderful stories of Wales.
