Robin Jarvis
Robin Jarvis (born May 8, 1963) is a British children's author who has entertained (and pleasantly terrified) generations of children with his brilliantly imagined dark fantasy stories, including the Deptford Mice and Whitby Witches series. The Dark Portal - the first book in the Deptford Mice series - was the runner up for the Smarties book prize in 1989.
