Description
Imagine you've just managed to catch your train and you realise it's the wrong one. You'd be annoyed, of course, but not scared . . . yet.
Imagine you get off the wrong train at the next station hoping to catch a train going back the way you came, but the station is empty. Again, you'd be annoyed, but not scared . . . yet.
Imagine someone comes to the station, someone who starts to tell you stories to help you pass the time, but these aren't any old stories . . . Scared yet? You will be.

Person
Jeremy de Quidt was born in London but grew up in Essex, and has lived at various times in London again, Norwich, Oxford and near Wells in Somerset. He went to the University of East Anglia in Norwich where he studied Medieval English Literature and History.
When de Quidt was about to give up trying to be a writer he found himself filling in an hour a week at Wells Central School, telling the children stories and helping them use the library, and almost by accident ended up writing a story for them in weekly instalments. Unknown to him it was shown by a friend to the publisher, David Fickling, who liked it and in time it was that story that was published as The Toymaker.
He is now a full time writer.
