Roy Frederick Brown was a Canadian by birth, born in Vancouver, British Columbia, on 10 December 1921. He spent most of his life in Britain as a teacher, first in primary schools from 1946 and then as deputy headmaster of the Helen Allison School for Autistic Children, Gravesend, Kent, between 1969-75. Peggy Heeks, writing in Twentieth Century Children's Writers, says that "Among major children's writers of the 1970s, Roy Brown was one particularly open to his times, in tune with their issues and concerns and, while the readability and human interest of his stories guarantee a wide readership, the settings indicate a conscious desire to offer the non-academic urban child a means of identification. The years brought development in technique but not deviation from city backgrounds and characters at risk or disadvantage in modern society."
