Author / Illustrator Profile
Theresa Breslin

Theresa Breslin was born in Scotland where she still lives with her husband Tom. She has four grown up children.

Theresa worked for many years as a librarian with specialist interest in children’s literature. Her involvement with libraries has been a great inspiration to her work.

Theresa is a traditional storyteller in the sense that she enjoys not only reading and writing stories but also telling them in lively workshop sessions and school visits. This gives her lots of opportunity to discuss her ideas with the most important people – the children who read her books.

Theresa Breslin’s writing combines a powerful sense of drama with memorable characters and superb storytelling. These qualities have won her one of the most prestigious awards, The Carnegie Medal for Whispers In The Graveyard. She has also been short listed for many others including The Children’s Book Award for The Dream Master and the Children’s Book Of The Year Award  for Kezzie.
