About The Author

Clare Povey is an author and the editorial and communities manager of the Writers' & Artists' website. She fell in love with reading as a child, inspired by the stories in her local library, and also discovered a passion for French, when her parents bought her Usborne's First Thousand Words in French. Clare did a degree in French and Francophone Studies, and her first book The Unexpected Tale of Bastien Bonlivre was a Waterstones Book of the Month.

A love letter to all things bookish

Other text

A really fun read with plenty of Parisian mystery and shades of Lemony Snicket in its dastardly villainy.
