About

Alison’s history

Alison Lloyd is an Australian author. She loves looking at the past from all kinds of angles (even upside-down). She has written seven historical novels and three non-fiction books for kids, including the award-winning Upside-Down History of Downunder and the popular Our Australian Girl: Meet Letty series..

Alison grew up mostly in Canberra, partly in Europe and partly in Asia. She studied in China for two years, where she learned to speak Chinese.

This picture was taken the day her first book, Year of the Tiger. was launched. You can see she’s pretty happy! Before she wrote books, Alison worked for the Australian Government, in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. She has sworn, under the Official Secrets Act, not to tell you about that…

But she has plenty of other stories to tell! Take a look at her books [link].

Yes, you can email me! I like hearing from readers. I usually reply pretty soon.  I do not promise to answer all questions, especially if it’s homework you could do by reading the book!
