Green Jasper by K M Grant

K.M.Grant grew up in Lancashire, England, where she adopted Miss Muffet, a horse that subsequently inspired the character of Hosanna, when she was 14 years old. Her older sisters and she used to stay up late making up stories to amuse one other. That, as well as K. M.'s incredible family history (one of her ancestors was the last person in England to be drawn and quartered!) inspired her to tell her story. She lives with her husband and children in Glascow, Scotland, where she works as a journalist and broadcaster.
