About The Author
Both Eoin Colfer’s parents were teachers and young Eoin was taught by his dad Billy at Wexford’s Christian Brothers primary. Eoin remembers his dad’s presence in school as “witty…[he] made school fun.” Colfer junior’s first attempt at serious writing came in the sixth grade. “I wrote a play for the class about Norse Gods. Everyone died in the end except me.”
Eoin followed in his parents’ footsteps and trained to be a teacher at Carysfort College in Dublin. After qualifying, he returned to his home town to take up a post as a Resources and Learning Support teacher at Coolcotts National School. As a class teacher, he liked to end the day with ten minutes of reading to his students. “I’d find myself elaborating if I saw the interest flagging,” he says, “I’d add in gory bits. In the end I made up my own stories.”
