  • Catherine Webb (born 1986) is a British author, educated at the Godolphin and Latymer School, London, and the London School of Economics. Catherine Webb was just fourteen years old when she completed Mirror Dreams, written during her school summer holidays. Her father used to work in publishing, and he suggested she should send the manuscript to an agent he knew. The agent offered to represent her. The book was published in 2002 by Atom Books, part of Time Warner, and Webb was named Young Trailblazer of the Year by the magazine CosmoGirl UK. Since then, she has gone on to write more books and has been favourably compared with Terry Pratchett (one of her literary heroes) and Philip Pullman. She has published seven young adult novels, all with Atom Books, and is now studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Webb prides herself on the scientific and historical accuracy of her Horatio Lyle books, which have been acclaimed by reviewers and readers. A lifelong Londoner, she enjoys walking through the areas she describes in her books - Bethnal Green, Clerkenwell and along the River Thames - comparing the city of London as it is now to how it was at various times in the past. She appeared in CosmoGirl in 2006/7 in an interview and inspired many young writers to try to get their works published. She also appeared in online interviews with CBBC and nzgirl when she was 15 and also with the Telegraph, where she was described as a "Teen Queen". Catherine Webb also writes fantasy novels for adults under the name Kate Griffin.
