Chris d'Lacey
Chris d’Lacey is an English author of children’s books, including fantasy novels. He writes the Last Dragon Chronicles, Dragons of Wayward Crescent and Unicorne Files series. Chris never wrote fiction until he was 32, when he wrote a 250,000 word story for his wife, but it would be another seven years before he would write any more fiction – a contest entry (which became A Hole at the Pole). Chris has won the Carnegie Medal, Rotherham Children’s Book Award and Books Factor Award and has been given an honourary doctorate from the University of Leicester, where he still works.

Chris d’Lacey became a published author when he submitted an entry to a contest to win £2,000, but did not win. Despite this, a publisher did purchase the book, which was A Hole at the Pole. The picture book was published in 1994. His first novel was Henry Spaloosh! (illustrated by Philip Reeve), which was released in 1998.

Chris d’Lacey Synopsis: In Henry Spaloosh! by Chris d’Lacey, Henry is a horrible swimmer. He’s capable of splashing and kicking about, but all he ends up doing is sinking. Wednesday afternoons are the worst for Henry, as that’s when his swimming lessons are. So why is he called Henry Spaloosh, anyway?
