Janey Louise Jones Press Reviews
Praise for Princess Poppy: The Fancy Dress Party:
'Full of little girl appeal!' - Parents News
'A lovely series of picture books ...based on reality rather than a fantasy kingdom which make her much easier to relate to. The adorable illustrations, coupled with innocent stories, makes these books ideal for reading aloud...sure to become real favourites.' - South Wales Argus
'With soft pink pictures and a secret letter for the reader, these suit dainty little ladies down to the ground. The simple language and easy pace make them a good first read.' - Junior
'Millions of children have grown up with the accident-prone bear from darkest Peru...but now the latest story by a mother-of-three from Portobello has beaten the new Paddington Bear book to the top of the children's bestseller chart' - Edinburgh Evening News

About Janey Louise Jones
Janey was born in Edinburgh and grew up by the seaside just outside the city. Janey published the first two Princess Poppy books herself (with her own illustrations) and the books were so popular that Random House Children's Books soon bought the series and re-packaged the books.
The series is now going from strength to strength, including picture books, activity books and sumptuous gift books. Janey has also written novels for young readers and the Princess Poppy Cookbook all of which have been very successful.
Janey read English at Edinburgh University specializing in the Victorian novel. Following this she became a teacher - a career that she absolutely adored - and then, with her husband, set up The Jelly Club, which has become an extremely successful chain of children's activity centres in Scotland. She still very much enjoys visiting schools and talking to children to find out what they like doing and what makes them laugh. Janey lives in Edinburgh with their three sons.
