Robin Jarvis is a British children's author who has entertained (and pleasantly terrified) generations of children with his brilliantly imagined dark fantasy stories, including the Deptford Mice and Whitby Witches series. He studied graphic design in Newcastle and then worked in television and advertising making model monsters and puppets before writing The Dark Portal, the first book on the Deptford Mice series, which was the runner up for the Smarties book prize in 1989.
'A humdinger of a tale [with] a poignant denouement that will satisfy the trilogy's fans' - Booklist 'A superlative conclusion to a top-notch series' - Kirkus 'The perfect stories for dark, cosy evenings. A once read, never forgotten series' - Phil Hickes, author of The Haunting of Aveline Jones
