Biography
Patrick Cave was born in Bath, England. He attended boarding school for seven years, during which he developed a love of music and of cross-country running. After obtaining his degree and a teaching certificate, he taught for ten years.
He then travelled around Europe[1] and began writing books to support himself while in France.[2]
Cave has always loved children's fiction, stating 'who could possibly understand the world better than children?'[1] He believes that his readers bring their own meaning to his books and with all the ingredients of excitement, suspense, catharsis, and escapism present in the story, there is no one "message".[3] One of his favorite writers is K.M. Peyton.[3]
