ROGER HURN

According to a bio on Badger Learning website: "Roger Hurn has had over seventy books for children published. He is well known for his author visits to schools and has enormous experience as an educator having taught at all levels from Nursery to Higher Education. His experience led to him being a consultant advisor to the UK Home Office and the Children's Directorate. On a story telling trip to Africa, the local people called him Mallam Oga. It means "Wise teacher, Big Boss" - or, at least that's what they told him it meant!

In his spare time Roger plays seven-a-side football, and to the horror of music lovers everywhere, guitar in a rock band."
