Product Description
Book Description
Troll Mill, the sequel to Troll Fell, follows Peer Ulfsson, his dog Loki, Hilde and their friends three years on from where we left them in Troll Fell. Previously minor characters are developed further – Hilde's Viking, fisherman friend, Bjorn plays a larger role. The story focuses mainly on life at the Mill and, with the unavoidable presence of troublesome trolls and interruptions from Peer's scheming uncles, this is not always easy.
About the Author
Katherine grew up in Yorkshire and has been writing stories for as long as she can remember. After graduating with a First in English from the University of London in 1979, she worked in an assortment of odd jobs including waitressing, teaching riding, and six years for Lloyd's Register of Ships in London.
As a child, Katherine was convinced that Narnia existed and set up a secret society with the aim of finding the way in! She even wrote the 8th Narnia book as she was so disappointed to have finished the 7th - she still has it now, hidden away far from prying eyes in her attic.
Katherine is married with two daughters. In 1992, when the youngest was a year old, the family moved to Fontainebleau, France, with her husband's job. Whilst here, she became involved in a storytelling group at her local library which provided weekly stories, drama and activities for children aged 3 to 7. She also began storytelling to classes at the International School in Fontainebleau. The power of stories is something Katherine feels passionately about.
In 1997, her family relocated again, this time to the small town of Corning in New York State. Katherine continued storytelling in local schools and festivals; and also joined Literacy Volunteers of America, a voluntary organisation for teaching reading and numeracy to those who fall through the net of U.S. education.
Katherine and her family returned to England in 1999, and she has been busy writing ever since. She loves reading, telling and writing folk tales and fairy tales, and her book Troll Fell was inspired by Scandinavian folklore. For Katherine, writing is 'the breath of life'; she can't stop and is thoroughly bad tempered when forced to do so. Even when her children were babies, and she was unable to do any creative writing, she had to keep a diary.
She believes, 'There is nothing wrong with a happy ending.’
