Emily Bearn was born in London, and has been a journalist since the age of 20 when she joined the staff of Harpers & Queen magazine. She then worked for a year as a diary reporter on The Times, before becoming a feature writer on the Sunday Telegraph. She became freelance in 2005 following the birth of her daughter, Freya.

The idea for the Tumtum and Nutmeg books was sparked one evening when, while feeding her baby in the kitchen, she saw two tiny mice scuttling across the floor, then disappearing behind the skirting next to the cooker. She started to wonder what sort of life the mice led behind the skirting board, and slowly the plot for the first Tumtum and Nutmeg book came to life.

Quotes by Emily Bearn (?)

“Hidden in the broom cupboard of Rose Cottage are two grand gates that lead to the loveliest little house you've ever seen. Nutmouse Hall. Shh, don't tell anyone... No one knows it's there...not even Arthur and Lucy who live in Rose Cottage.

This is the home of Tumtum and Nutmeg...”

“And meanwhile Nutmeg set about rustling up a celebratory feast from the odds and ends in her pantry. She made a salmon mousse, a saffron risotto, a fish pie, a hash, a cockroach roulade, a trifle, a chocolate mousse, and a sponge pudding with a jug of hot molasses sauce to pour on top. By the time she’d finished it was getting dark, so she served the meal by candlelight in the banqueting room. And she laid the table with all her best silver and crockery and damask table napkins.”
