[Madame Pamplemousse 02] • The Time-Travelling Café

This is Rupert Kingfisher#39;s first book although he is working on another. His favourite authors as a child were Roald Dahl, Susan Cooper and Ursula le Guin. He also loved American horror comics and French cartoon books such as IAsterix /Iand ITintin/I. It was on a family holiday to Paris that he visited a bookshop dedicated to books such as ITintin /I#45; and also ate anchovies for the first time, on a pizza from a street vendor. He says that both experiences were equally life#45;changing./Pbr/br/PRupert studied Philosophy at Bristol University and Play Writing at the Central School of Speech and Drama. Rupert has had plays performed in Dublin, Edinburgh, London and on BBC Radio 4. He grew up in Oxfordshire and now lives in Brentford, Middlesex./P
