Wendy Meddour spent many years teaching English at Oxford University before Wendy Quill came along and stole the limelight. Now with four young children, a wobbly old house in Wiltshire, and a great new day-job writing funny books, she doesn't expect things to get quiet any time soon! Mina is Wendy's eleven-year-old daughter. She is much better at drawing than her mother. She is also better at singing, dancing, mathematics, Arabic, writing, and doing a backwards crab. (But please don't tell anyone about the writing bit, or Wendy will lose her job).
