About the Author

Allison Rushby, the daughter of an author, was raised on a wholesome and steady diet of classic English literature. Some of her favourite books, re-read countless dog-eared times include Rumer Godden's The Dolls' House, Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden, Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle and Noel Streatfield's "Shoes" series. She has long been a fan of cities with long, winding histories, wild, overgrown cemeteries, red brick Victorian museums, foxes and ivy. She prefers to write with a cup of Darjeeling tea by her side and a Devon Rex cat curled up in her lap.

Her work includes When This Bell Rings, which was a Notable in the CBCA Awards, The Mulberry Tree, which was shortlisted in the West Australia Young Readers' Book Award, The Turnkey, which was shortlisted in the Speech Pathology Awards and The Seven Keys, which was longlisted in the Davitt Awards.
