Lorna White is a copywriter and writer with a degree in Greek and Roman studies from the University of Exeter. Fascinated by all things mystical, she draws her inspiration from the Greek and Roman myths as well as folklore from across the globe. Half-French, half-English, she grew up flitting between the two nations. Today, she lives in London with her husband and two daughters and their rabbit, Candy.

Together, Agnes and Lorna are writing their first children’s picture book with a ‘folkloric non-fiction’ theme.
