Polly Faber Author Event

About Polly Faber

I live in London with a husband, two almost grown up sons, two cats called Alan and Babs and (currently) a pond full of tadpoles. I’ve written all sorts of different books – both fiction and non fiction. When I was small I used to be quite scared of the noise that the bin lorry made when it came early in the morning .
