Denis Bond is constantly in demand for his action-packed author visits and writers' workshops in schools and libraries throughout the UK and abroad. Author of popular children's books, Denis is also a successful screen-writer.
An author of over seventy children's books, Denis originally trained for the theatre at The Rose Bruford College, near London. He then worked as an actor on stage and television before spending some years as a teacher.
Denis gave up teaching when he was commissioned to write twenty-six episodes for a children's TV series. 'Pipkins' was a huge success and ran for nine years. This was followed by three different, but equally successful series: 'Rainbow', 'The Munch Bunch', and 'Let's Pretend'. In 2005 Denis wrote the award-winning TV series 'Picme' for RTE.
Denis' picture books for younger readers, illustrated by Valeria Petrone, are extremely popular as are his novels for ages 10+.
Six of his most popular children's titles are available from Coach House Publications, including 'The Dragon who couldn’t Help Breathing Fire' and 'The Train who was Frightened of the Dark'.
