About Robin Jarvis

Robin Jarvis is a bestselling English illustrator and author who is best known for the “Deptford Mice” series of novels. From a very early age, he used to come up with characters that he would then draw onto sketch pads and then make stories to accompany those illustrations. Robin would ultimately make use of that method in coming up with his novels as he made his characters first and then developed a story around them. It was in 1988 that he began writing and in 1989 he published “The Dark Portal,” his debut novel and the first of the “Deptford Mice” series of novels. Since that time, he has become a prolific author with more than two dozen works of fiction to his name across the “Deptford Mice,” “Whitby Witches,” and “Wyrd Museum” series among many others. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Dancing Jax Books series, Robin Jarvis has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
