Lynn Huggins is a widely published author. When she is not writing, she is in the studio creating art for exhibition. She is a textiles artist, working in natural and found materials, and mixed media, and her work is influenced by the 360 hectare woodland that begins at the bottom of her garden. She is a member of the Heritage Crafts Association, and the International Felt makers Association. She lives with her husband and daughter in the north east of England.
The writer's style makes for easy reading. With clever analogies and enough relevant historic trivia to engage readers, she creates clear mental images of basketry manufacture and use through the ages. She writes with confidence and authority, but manages to avoid academic dryness, making for light, friendly reading. --Jack Heriard Whispering Wind
