Autorenporträt
Stuart Barlow is a former teacher from Rochdale whose passion and speciality was the promotion of imaginative writing for ten- and eleven-year-old children, with an emphasis placed firmly on the joy of the written word. Kidnap at Cloggham Hall is the product of the stimulus he provided them with during his time in Year six. His other novellas are based on stories that he used as starting points to excite children's desire to write. His other passion is an interest in the evolution of recreation in the nineteenth century, on which his doctoral thesis is based.
