ⓘ About Ariel Kaplan

Author Ariel Kaplan was born in California, and was an imperfect baby before she grew into an imperfect adult. At times, she makes perfect chocolate cupcake, and her trick is to leave out the eggs, which only get in the way of the great chocolate flavor. Two of her favorite movies from childhood are “Harvey” (the movie where Jimmy Stewart’s BFF is a six foot tall rabbit only he can see) and “The Empire Strikes Back”. She feels that this is probably as much as you need to know about her. When she was seven years old, her family moved to Virginia, where she spent as much of her childhood as possible playing in the woods and read all of the folklore she was able to get a hold of.
