Hello. I’m Bethany Walker, although everyone just calls me Beth.

I’m a children’s author and I particularly enjoy writing and reading funny books. Before I became an author, I was a teacher and then an educator in museums and galleries. I have always loved writing, art and history, so I’m very lucky to have had jobs that combined these interests. I hate rock climbing, loud noises and cucumbers, so I am also lucky to have managed to avoid jobs that include those things.

I have two children and we now live in Lincolnshire. We had been living in London, which is such an amazing city (especially for an art enthusiast) but the big skies and wide, open spaces of the countryside feel more like home.
