Elizabeth Webb Author & Illustrator

Dr. Elizabeth Webb grew up in Zimbabwe and studied science and medicine in Cape Town, South Africa, and later trained in psychiatry and Jungian analytical psychology in London. Elizabeth is now retired and lives in Kent. She lists her hobbies as ‘curiosity and observation put into words’. Elizabeth was in the past a karate expert. As she says, ‘I took up Shotokan karate in my sixties and received a Black belt. My interest in karate saved my life after the death of my partner, which hit me very hard’.
