Ashwitha Jayakumar

Ashwitha Jayakumar has written and adapted over a dozen books for young readers on history, mythology and science. After graduating with a master's degree in Literature and Society: 1688-1900 from the University of Edinburgh, she taught English literature to secondary school students and worked in publishing before doing an MA in medieval studies from the University of Leeds entirely for fun. She's mad about history, fantasy novels, chocolate and dogs.
