Amanda Swift

Amanda Swift was a swot and ended up studying French at Oxford, although she only uses it now for ordering ice creams on the beach (in France). She first worked as an actress, once appearing in a commercial for Angel Delight! She has written several books for children, including The Boys’ Club and Anna/bella. She lives in South-East London with her translator husband, two teenage sons and two adorable rescue cats.
