Catherine Charles was born in a Lancashire cotton mill town but spent most of her early life on a farm in a small village in Lincolnshire, where she developed her love of the countryside and its wildlife. Having a strong interest in writing fired her imagination, and many of her stories are based on village life and its sometimes-complex characters.
