Iona Rangeley

I grew up in Norfolk with two parents who were often going off to various corners of the house and writing, so it always felt like I ought to be doing the same. I produced such works as ‘Sam and the Pig’, ‘Adventures at Spider School’ and a diary in which I lied about being able to speak to the house’s ghosts. 

 

Eventually I went to Oxford to study English and kept on writing with the intention of “never having to get a real job”. I wrote Einstein the Penguin in my third year. Since then, I have written two further Einstein books and am now working on a trilogy of spy books. The first book, Cecily Sawyer: How to Be A Spy, will launch in June 2025.
