Linda Bailey

Linda Bailey is the author of more than thirty-five books for children. She was born and grew up in Winnipeg, but a passion for travel took her around the world, mostly by ship, before she settled on Canada's west coast. It was there that she first began to write fiction and discovered the splendours of a different kind of travel — into imagined worlds.

Her books, now published in fifteen countries, have won multiple awards across North America, including the California Young Readers Medal, the Ontario Blue Spruce and Silver Birch Awards, the Arthur Ellis Crime Writers Award and the Georgia Picture Book Award. Linda has two grown daughters, Lia and Tess, and lives in Vancouver, close to the sea.
