Angie sage septimus heap6/1/2023 ![]() I have had the character of Septimus in my head for a long time-and the world he lived in too. ![]() What was it that inspired this, your first novel, Septimus Heap? You have written many picture books and chapter books for children. It is a great place to live and write Septimus Heap. The west of England is a Magykal place, with marches, ancient ports and ruined castles. I live in Somerset in the west of England in a very old house in the middle of a village. I have two daughters, Laurie and Lois, who are grown now but still give me lots of ideas. ![]() ![]() ![]() I have written about a dozen books for young readers and illustrated quite a few too, including the Araminta Spookie series. My father worked in publishing and would bring home wonderful “dummy” books, beautifully bound with blank pages, that I would fill with pictures and stories. As a child I loved reading and would often escape to the orchards behind the house with a book. I was born in London and grew up in the Thames Valley, London, and Kent. ![]()
