Join Princess Poppy and her friends and family for another brilliant adventure - a fairytale!
Janey was born in Edinburgh and grew up by the seaside just outside
the city. Janey published the first two Princess Poppy books
herself (with her own illustrations) and the books were so popular
that Random House Children's Books soon bought the series and
re-packaged the books. The series is now going from strength to
strength, including picture books, novels for young readers,
activity books and sumptuous gift books.
Janey read English at Edinburgh University specializing in the
Victorian novel. Following this she became a teacher - a career
that she absolutely adored - and then, with her husband, set up The
Jelly Club, which has become an extremely successful chain of
children's activity centres in Scotland. She still very much enjoys
visiting schools and talking to children to find out what they like
doing and what makes them laugh. Janey and her husband live in
Edinburgh with their three sons.
