Henry R French

Born in 1961, Henry R French is the fifth of seven children. After a happy childhood in a crowded South London home, he trained as a car mechanic. He moved to Leamington Spa and learned how to design cars. He’s since had careers as a barman, a chartered engineer, a motoring journalist and, most recently, a learning mentor.

Having raised his own family, he’s never forgotten fond family times, many inspiring his creative writing. After many years developing his craft as a hobby, Beachcomber, his first foray as a professional children’s author, starts an adventure series for young readers.
