Martin KillipsMartin Killips was born in Malaysia and raised by monkeys for the first two years of his life. His primary carer was a female gibbon that bottle fed and later spoon fed him until his family returned to the UK briefly then moved to Northern Germany. Mrtin started primary school in Germany a month shy of being four and by the time he turned five he was a fluent reader. Consequently, when he returned to the UK and found his classmates learning the alphabet and sounding out words he chose to hide in the school library until he'd read every book. It was during these early years he fell in love with history and poetry. Martin has published six books, selling more than 50,000 of his last book series. He now lives in Australia with his wife, two daughters and rescue hound. Read More Read Less
