Cas spent many years having a fabulous time, and a great deal of fun, working in children’s television drama with CBBC. She developed and executive-produced lots of programmes including Jackanory, Muddle Earth, The Magician of Samarkand, Big Kids and The Story of Tracy Beaker.
Her programmes have been nominated for numerous awards, including BAFTAs, Royal Television Awards and Broadcast Children’s Awards.
Now she’s having a fabulous time, and a great deal of fun, writing books for children, helping out in a primary school library and mucking about with her family. She has four children and a daft dog called Bramble. She would absolutely love to go into space. But not on the Toxic Spew.
Cas loves doing school visits, so ask your teacher to get involved! To find out more, or just to keep an eye on what Cas is up to, you can visit her at: http://www.caslester.com/
