Description
Author Eleanor Dixon
Eleanor started writing while in Greece, and completed a Creative Writing Course with the Writer’s Bureau. The same year, she won an annual competition in the Writing Magazine for an adult fairy story. On her return to England, she wrote two children’s books, but her new life, caring for Highland cattle, sheep, hens and pets, coupled with extensive global travel, meant that writing for publication took a back seat. She continued her love of writing with a daily journal and amusing travel blogs of each trip.
Eleanor is now writing full time and Tally and the Angel, Book One India, is the first of a planned series of six. Book Two takes place in Canada, North Yukin, and the third in Japan. Eleanor intends them to have adventures in Greece, Egypt, Peru, Africa – anywhere she has been really.
Eleanor’s first published novel, The Graceful Ghost, draws on her own experiences in ballet-boarding-school and her early teenage life, and is a story that has lived with her for many years. It was shortlisted for the UK Selfies Awards 2021, and a finalist in the Wishing Shelf Awards 2021. Ballet School Boys is the second in the series and Ballet School Rumours the third.
A little known fact about Eleanor is that her favourite food is Birthday Cake.

Kirsty –
A well written story with a wonderful plot that blends the language of dance with the supernatural creating a highly engaging and entertaining read for children and adults! The characters are endearing and readers will easily form a connection and remain invested in their stories. This is a fantastic introduction to the series and I highly recommend.
