Georgia Byng is the creator of Molly Moon.
Georgia Byng grew up in a large, noisy family in a house outside Winchester, England, near the river Itchen. The nearby country lane with its many cottages was where Georgia Byng first found out about characters, for it was teeming with them, and she used to interview them. Georgia Byng now lives in a house in London full of old and new art, as her husband is the conceptual artist Marc Quinn. Marc keeps all sorts of strange things in the fridge—once he had to keep a Canadian frog in there as it was hibernating and had to be kept cold. They and their family—Tiger, Lucas, and Sky—love to travel, and their favorite destination is India where Georgia can research ideas for her new book or she can be found whizzing around London in her little electric car.
In a nutshell: look into the pages for hypnotising adventure! Georgia Byng’s story of the young girl who manages to swap a miserable life in an orphanage for the bright lights, fame and fortune of Broadway through her incredible talent for hypnotism has long been a favourite with readers. A larger-than-life story with all the ingredients of the page-turner including wicked villains, likeable heroine and fast-moving, fantastical plotline, it’s surprising that only now, some years after publication, has it been turned into a film. There’s more to Molly Moon than action and adventure however, and the novel cleverly poses questions about belonging, and the need for inner as well as outer transformation. Read the book before or after seeing the film. ~ Andrea Reece
Interest Age 8-12 | In a nutshell: true hearts and heroines in Victorian London | Inspired by an artefact at the Hunterian Museum Georgia Byng tells a story about a young girl born with no nose, that will inspire readers to be proud of who they are, no matter what they believe their imperfections to be. It also teaches that being kind and generous, and accepting of other people, leads to happiness. Ashamed of her appearance Alice hides from the world, living a lonely life until her friend Daisy shows her another way. Daisy is bad at spelling but ignores it, ‘becus I am so cleva in so menny other ways’. When Alice starts to make friends with others, people willing to accept her the way she is, her life changes. The story is simply but beautifully told, and illustrations by award-winner Gary Blythe make this little book very special. ~ Andrea Reece The story was inspired by a Victorian prosthetic nose at the Hunterian Museum in London. Georgia Byng says, “When I was thinking about Alice’s story, I was thinking about the woman with her false nose … And I hope this woman’s real life, one where she came to terms with her no-noseness, will inspire the people who read The Girl With No Nose to be proud of who they are, no matter what their imperfections are.” The Conkers imprint has quickly and successfully established itself: offering the very best authors and illustrators, all heavily illustrated throughout, in a range of gorgeous formats. High quality cream paper and a special easy to read font ensure a smooth read for all.
