Praise for 'Madame Pamplemousse and Her Incredible Edibles': 'Enchanting debut ... witty, warm-hearted and as delectable as one of the dishes it describes, this is as much a hymn to the culinary arts as to the magic of kindness, and is recommended for 6-9s' Amanda Craig, The Times 'A winner for Christmas' The Bookseller

Rupert Kingfisher's first two books, Madame Pamplemousse and Her Incredible Edibles and Madame Pamplemousse and the Time-Travelling Cafe, were highly acclaimed. His favourite authors as a child were Roald Dahl, Susan Cooper and Ursula le Guin. He also loved American horror comics and French cartoon books such as Asterix and Tintin. It was on a family holiday to Paris that he discovered Tintin - and also ate anchovies for the first time. He says that both experiences were equally life changing. Rupert studied Philosophy at Bristol University and Play Writing at the Central School of Speech and Drama. Rupert has had plays performed in Dublin, Edinburgh, London and on BBC Radio 4. He grew up in Oxfordshire and now lives in Brentford, Middlesex.
