Stuart Hill, Author

Stuart Hill, author of the popular fantasy novels The Cry of the Icemark, Blade of Fire and Last Battle of the Icemark, was born in 1958 and raised in Leicester, England where he still lives.

He failed all his exams at school but was fortunate enough to be taught by an inspiring teacher who gave him a lifelong love of reading. Since leaving school he has worked as a car trimmer, a cemetery gardener and an archaeologist.

It was during snatched coffee breaks from his job in busy book shop that Stuart wrote his first children's book, The Cry Of The Icemark. Stuart’s debut went on to win the inaugural Waterstone’s Children's Book prize in 2005, garnering extraordinary review and media coverage. It has since been translated into 15 languages.
