He formerly worked as a film classifier and a market researcher.[2] Giles' biography states that he lives in a shambolic apartment not far from the beach and spends most days wandering around his imagination – which is where he met the Winterbottoms.[3]
Silas and the Winterbottoms
The rights to the Silas and the Winterbottoms series have been sold for the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Germany and Italy.
Silas and the Winterbottoms was described as "a gothic tale of intrigue, adventure and humour, complete with evil relatives, orphans, crocodiles, secret schemes and great escapes. Young fans of series such as Lemony Snicket will enjoy this one, the first in a series."[4]
