Yasmin Bond Author

Yasmin Bond studied art history at Cambridge University and the Courtauld Institute and combines working for a central London art gallery with her passions for writing and travel. Yasmin describes herself as a 'visual writer' and loves to work closely with illustrators to create perfect little worlds of picture book fiction for children to immerse themselves in. Vicky's first love, as a child, was always the magical world of drawing. As a grown-up, she side-stepped this to do a Master's degree in Linguistics, then three years of illustration at the Ghent Academy of Arts. Now, after shaking off what she calls the monster of 'Routine' that was hiding in the business world, she has returned to what she loves most, showing the magic she saw as a child to others.
