Rosie Dickins grew up in England and Hong Kong. An avid reader, she always loved dreaming up her own stories.

She has written over a hundred children's books, from award-winning information books to fiction.
Ashe wasn't born; she grew on a bush. She lived in Paris and Lyon for a bit, before coming back to London to finish her studies at King's College - writing about music, film and politics in the meantime. She's happiest in icy waters, on her bicycle and sleeping outside. She moonlights as a climber. At Usborne, Ashe writes books about the human body and stories of the Moon.
