Tomlinson never intended to be a writer. She trained as an opera
singer, and then decided to have a family whilst her voice matured.
But illness intervened, and she had to find another outlet for her
energies. She started on a journalism course, and by the third
lesson decided she wanted to write for children. So she did! Jill
Tomlinson's animal stories are much-loved and have been
best-selling children's books for nearly four decades.
