About The Author

When she wasn't riding her bike or making things out of loo rolls and scraps of fabric, Ruth spent her childhood reading about detectives and historical figures. She has written and edited countless books for Usborne – some about detectives and historical figures; some about dinosaurs, scientists and astronauts.

A covetable resource.
