Author Biography

Lesley dreamed of being a writer, but studied law as her mother insisted she had "something to fall back on". Since joining Usborne Publishing, she has written and edited hundreds of books, from funny rhyming stories to an award-winning history book. Nowadays, she is often found recording books, too, in Usborne's very own recording studio.

The books are carefully levelled and offer a huge variety of accessible and fun, fiction and non-fiction. * Tamara Linke (Proprietor, Tales on Moon Lane Bookshop) *
