Clive Dickinson has been a full-time writer for all but six months of his working life. In that time he has written a wide range of books, both fiction and non-fiction, from an Enid Blyton novel to a road safety guide for young children and their parents, and from a popular paperback that explores the fun side of mathematics to another which provides the 'incredible answers' to dozens of 'amazing questions'. In recent years he has found a growing readership in the popular Lost Diary series published by HarperCollins Children's Books. Clive has written four of these, 'The Lost Diary of Tutankhamun's Mummy', 'The Lost Diary of Montezuma's Soothsayer', 'The Lost Diary of Christopher Columbus's Lookout' and 'The Lost Diary of Annie Oakley's Stagehand'.
