From a very early age she was drawing and writing stories,and was already putting books together (literally,with a stapler) by the time she was six. She went on to study at Chelsea,Croydon and Camberwell Schools of Art. Jill worked in a children's home for four years and as a nanny for a year,before becoming a freelance writer and illustrator. The Worst Witch stories,of which this is the seventh,are some of Puffin's most successful titles.
