Ruth SmythHi, I'm Ruth, a children's book author from Melbourne, although, originally born in West Derby, England I now call Australia home. My books "Maddy and the Elf-The best gift of all" and "James and the Elf- An Unexpected Adventure" are the first two boks in my elf series - the third to be released next year. I love nothing more than creating stories full of odd creatures, old-world charm, and just enough adventure to propel the characters forward. Wishing you and your children many hours of happy reading! Read More Read Less
