Sophie Anderson (Author)
Sophie Anderson was born in Swansea, and now lives in the Lake District with her family. Her writing is most often inspired by folk and fairy stories, especially the Slavic tales her Prussian grandmother told her when she was young.
Across her bestselling novels, Sophie has won the Independent Bookshop Book of the Year Award and the Wales Book of the Year Award, and been shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal twice, the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, the Blue Peter Book Award, the British Book Awards' Children's Fiction Book of the Year, the Andersen Prize, and the Branford Boase Award.
Sophie's books have been translated into over twenty-five languages, and The House with Chicken Legs has been adapted for stage by Les Enfants Terribles.
This vividly imagined blend of fairy tale and coming-of-age novel reflects perceptively on death and loss
The Sunday Times
This original debut takes a poignant, philosophical look at predestination and free choice, and features delectable food descriptions, cheeky jackdaws and a frolicking lamb.
The Guardian
A magical tale. a captivating and original retelling of a traditional story straight out of folklore. Beautiful escapism.
Sunday Express S Magazine
Enticing, a little bit dangerous, and thrumming with possibilities.
Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars
While it plays, elegantly and surprisingly warmly, with the idea of death, Anderson's book is rich with the tastes, smells and sensations of life, from the flavour of borscht to the sounds of violins
