Robin Jarvis (born May 8, 1963) is a British children's novelist, who writes fantasy novels, often about anthropomorphic rodents and small mammals - especially mice - and Tudor times.[1] A lot of his works are based in London, in and around Deptford and Greenwich where he used to live, or in Whitby.
His first novel - The Dark Portal, featuring the popular Deptford Mice - was the runner up for the Smarties book prize in 1989.[2]
