Jane studied English at Exeter and Art History at York. She has worked on various Usborne dictionaries, encyclopaedias and learning books, and her edition of the Usborne Illustrated Dictionary was awarded a prize for a significant contribution to children's literacy. She has two sons and three stepsons who are now scattered across the globe. She gets a huge thrill from seeing her books on sale when she travels to the USA and Australia.
Suitable for children from any family background including adopted and fostered children, and with ties to the Key Stage 1 and Foundation Stage History curriculum, which requires children to talk about past and present events in their own lives and the lives of family members, this is the perfect starter guide for all budding family historians. * Lancashire Post *
