VALENTINE, JENNY

Jenny worked in a wholefood shop in Primrose Hill for fifteen years where she met many extraordinary people and sold a lot of organic loaves. She has also worked as a teaching assistant and a jewellery maker, and has recently started writing children’s books. Jenny studied English Literature at Goldsmiths College, which almost put her off reading but not quite. She now lives in Hay-on-Wye and is married to a singer/songwriter. Her debut novel Finding Violet Park (HarperCollins Children’s Books, 2007) won the 2007 Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize. The novel she is currently writing will be set in mid Wales.
