Biographical note
Poppy Alexander is the author of The Littlest Library, Storybook Ending, and 25 Days ’Til Christmas. She wrote her first book when she was five. There was a long gap in her writing career while she was at school, and after studying classical music at university, she decided the world of music was better off without her and took up public relations, campaigning, political lobbying, and a bit of journalism instead. She takes an anthropological interest in family, friends, and life in her West Sussex village (think The Archers crossed with Twin Peaks), where she lives with her husband, children, and various other pets.“A charming and heartwarming novel! Poppy Alexander’s Storybook Ending brings us to an idyllic small town in the English countryside, where Imogen embarks on a journey not only of self-discovery, but of renewal. Recently widowed, surprisingly pregnant, and embarking on a new career in an unfamiliar setting, it would seem Imogen has set herself for quite a few challenges. But with the fabulous cast of characters she befriends in this cozy village, including one brooding hero who has the power to upend it all, she just might get the storybook ending that she deserves.” — Michelle Brandon, author of Rush Week “Author Poppy Alexander builds a picturesque village… Storybook Ending explores one woman’s efforts to create her own future in spite of many detours.” — Novels Alive "Why did I wait so long to read this author?
