Description
Book SynopsisMorris Gleitzman was born in Lincolnshire and moved to Australia in his teens. He worked as a paperboy, a shelf-stacker, a frozen chicken de-froster, an assistant to a fashion designer and more, before taking a degree in Professional Writing at Canberra College and becoming a writer. He is best known for his hugely successful children's books including
Two Weeks with the Queen,
Bumface,
Once, Then and
Now.Trade ReviewMorris Gleitzman has a rare gift for writing very funny stories and an even rarer gift of wrapping very serious stories inside them * The Guardian *
Morris Gleitzman gives form to human faith - gives it a clear sweet voice and a gaze of perfect directness. His story hovers above the fathomless atrocities it recounts, speaking the truth simply, to devastating effect. 'Once' and 'Then' are books for all ages and all times * Meg Rosoff, author of How I Live Now *
