Elaine Lambert

Prior to graduating from Bath Spa with an MA in Writing for Young People, Elaine was a teacher of English. She still works part-time, teaching students in both the UK and overseas and likes nothing better than seeing their satisfaction when they write their own stories. She was born in Ireland and spent much of her childhood between the two farms of her grandparents – places rich in country folklore which sparked her imagination. Elaine loves to read and write stories with humour and heart. She lives in Gloucestershire with her husband and two sons. 

The Wimbling Woods

Rumour has it that there’s a lost abbey in the Wimbling Woods, but the greedy landowner Captain Webber won’t have it. It's 1957. Twelve-year-old history geek Leif Livingstone has been abandoned in sleepy Monkton Bottom for the summer. But when he meets the high-spirited Horatio, he learns of the threat Webber and his malicious son, Fergus, pose to the woods with their bulldozers. When the two friends discover Windrush runaway Wynn hiding in the woods, together they set off on a race-against-time quest to prove the existence of the secret abbey, and stop Webber’s bulldozers in their tracks. But can Leif convince Wynn to trust them? MG historical adventure.
