ⓘ About Benedict Brown
He is a Welsh-Irish-Englishman that is originally from South London yet now lives with his French/Spanish wife and European daughter in Burgos, a gorgeous city in the north of Spain. He writes overlooking the Castilian countryside, attempting to not get distracted by the hawks, vultures, and red kites which fly past his window every day. At some point in time, he got obsessed with creating a truly fantastic kids’ book and wrote everything from environmental dystopian fantasies to fairy tales on through to serious issue based teen fiction. Benedict’s book “The Princess and The Peach” was long listed for a prize in The Times, and an American producer was hoping to adapt this novel into a film.
