Auteur: Stuart Bell

Stuart Bell had been an headteacher of Primary Schools, before his retirement. He spent forty years weaving stories for children and has now turned his attention to a maturer reader, many of whom may well be former pupils who recall some of the stories that he told. During his many years in education, he was Deputy Chief Marker for English and was co-author of a series of six books, “Success in English” to guide pupils and their parents, and to provide practice. He spent the later years of his working life, and a few years of retirement, as an educational consultant. After a few years as a widower he has returned to writing thanks to the support and encouragement of family and close friends. He had always said that he would write a novel for the adult world and with the special support of the people dearest to him he has now fullfilled that promise. Stuart lives in Mid-Kent, near where he ended his educational career. He has his family quite near to him and is very much a father and proud grandfather. He maintains close contact with a number of former colleagues and one particular special friend who has encouraged him to use his love of language to create stories to intrigue, amuse and entertain.
