Gloria Danili was born in Monza in a house full of history and philosophy books. She worked as a window dresser, set designer for TV commercials and author of children's TV programmes.

Some wonderful "children's" books read "as an adult" marked her turning point towards storytelling and her passion for children's literature.

Today she lives in London in a house full of picture books and children's books, and when she writes she enjoys imagining the characters of those stories perched next to her, preparing her a cup of tea and blowing her ideas for her new stories.
