Christine grew up in a lovely old farmhouse in West Wales. She wrote her first book at the age of five about a girl who meets the Easter Bunny. Christine is probably the only Chinese-speaking Welsh folk musician on the planet. She spends much of her time wondering how this combination might best be used to save the world. She currently lives in Sheffield. Her story ‘What Am I Doing Here?’ features in Born in the 1980s.
