KBR is delighted to welcome award-winning and immensely talented author Jackie French to our stable of Behind the Books features... our first for 2011. Jackie's books run the gamut from picture books to historical novels and encyclopaedic gardening tomes, so providing a bibliographical listing here is difficult.
We therefore provide a listing specifically focusing on children's books - but be warned, that too is long! As Jackie is such a prolific writer and also writes for established series like the Mates series, this list is incomplete and may be slightly inaccurate for dates.
Enjoy this peek at Jackie's books and stay tuned for a wonderful two days of fabulous French fun, and don't forget to check out her website for fascinating inside information on Jackie's writing processes.
