Biography

Aby King was born in London. She was raised in Wimbledon Village with her brother Oliver. She came up with the idea for the Lupo series whilst walking her dog Lilly around Kensington Palace.

Aby has had what you might describe as a ‘portfolio’ career. She is a PA – but always wanted to write a children's series for her own kids. At school she was inspired by Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree and scribbled fantasy and adventure stories.

In 1991, when Abigail was 14, her mother died of leukemia. The following year, her half-sister, the model and actress Louise Ashby, was seriously injured in a car crash in Los Angeles. The story of her long and painful recovery is told in her 2001 book The Magic of the Mask.

Aby supports a number of charitable organisations including the NSPCC, Cruse Bereavement and The Mayhew Animal Home.
