Elizabeth Pulford was born in Hamilton, Canada, but was brought up in New Zealand from the age of two. She began writing in her early 40s. Since then her publications have included articles, poetry, short stories in newspapers, magazines and on the radio. Many of her adult short stories have won national competitions. Her children’s books range from early readers through to YA novels; two of which have been finalists for the New Zealand Post Awards. Elizabeth has always loved books. In fact some of her best friends are books and she couldn’t imagine life without them. She is a believer that the world is full of enchantment and that there is magic all around if only we care to look.
