Grant was born in England in an ancient time before mobile phones, colour television and England only World Cup win (just). He has spent much of the past 20 years writing and reporting about primates (the human kind) running, jumping and kicking balls while working as a journalist. Grant is finishing off Space Buttons, an adventure about a brother and sister travelling the universe and taking on smelly aliens in a bid to save our planet, as well as some rather silly verses and a novel for adults and children called The Indisputable Wisdom of Horse.
He is also putting together Romy Alexander’s third adventure in the Monkey Magic series, which he plans to complete in 2012.
Grant should never be given a cup and saucer or asked to perform surgery because he wobbles like a jelly. That is because of a condition called Essential Tremor that started when he was a child and gives him a good excuse to spill drinks over his friends.
Grant's books are published by Hachette, Can of Worms and Monsoon Books.
