R.A. Spratt was born in the UK and lived in Dursley, Gloucestershire-a town immortalized by Harry Potter’s deeply unpleasant relatives-until she was two years old. Then, like many ambitious English people cursed with regional accents so strong no other British person can take them seriously, her family moved to Australia. The tedium of growing up in the western suburbs of Sydney was fertilizer to the growth of R.A.’s imagination. The only thing for a kid to do was get on a bicycle and go to the library, so R.A. Spratt did just that.
