Reviews Lee Newbery lives with his son and dog in a seaside town in West Wales. By day he has a boring grown-up job, but by night he sits down at his laptop to write stories of adventure, magic and love. His first book, The Last Firefox, won the Wales Book of the Year People's Choice Award and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. Lee enjoys adventuring, drinking ridiculous amounts of tea, and giving his dog a good cuddle - or a cwtch, as they say in Wales.
