Children & Young Adult

Katharine & Elizabeth Corr with Paul Blezard

Sisters who write are not as rare as you might think. The Brontës set the bar high, but weren’t co-authors. That the Corr sisters pen their wonderful fantasy fiction for Young Adults together sets them apart.

With echoes of Tolkien, Martin and even Rowling in each of their books, they weave strands of wonder through their imagined worlds, placing in them such unforgettable characters as Meredith ‘Merry,’ the teenager who finds she has powers and flips the Sleeping Beauty concept on its head. 

Look out, too, for their superb new title A Throne of Swans, which takes the Swan Lake narrative and, with Pullmanesque and Game of Thrones undertones, transforms it into a sparkling new treasure.
