Molly Arbuthnott

Molly Arbuthnott is a teacher, author, editor, and academic from Scotland, UK. She is passionate about the promotion of children’s literature. With a solid understanding of literature and the ability to read, she believes you can take on the world.

She uses her experiences from life as inspiration for her writing. Each story is loosely based on family or friends who have been important in her life whilst also trying to tell stories in an honest and gentle way. Teaching children to look out for others, work as a team and not to be afraid of doing the right thing is important. Such lessons might then filter through and be reflected in the way we live in the magical world around us.
Each book teams up with a charity which is associated with the theme of the book in some way. Part of the profits from book sales are then donated to the designated charities.

Possessing an affinity for the world of books, Molly often finds herself at bookshops, libraries, schools, and book festivals throughout the UK. has also started a My Favourite Books podcast where she chats with young and old about individual and common book interests.
