Autorenporträt
J.A. Thornbury has immersed herself - almost literally - in her writing. Researching her subject, she has paddled coracles and kayaks on rivers and lakes in Britain, gone spelunking in Wales, climbed mountains in Cumbria and Scotland, and participated in archaeological digs in England. A lifetime of birding and botanizing, ten years as staff artist and naturalist at the Somerset County Environmental Education Center in New Jersey, and twenty-five years as Senior Principal Exhibit Preparator at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City have given her insights into the natural world, so important to the protagonist of this tale.
