  The Unluckiest Boy in the World
  
  
  Andrew Norriss was born in Scotland in 1947, went to university in Ireland and
  taught history in a sixth-form college in England for ten years before
  becoming a full-time writer. In the course of twenty years, he has written and
  co-written some hundred and fifty episodes of situation comedies and
  children’s drama for television, and has written four books for children,
  including Aquila, which won the Whitbread Children’s Book of the Year in 1997.
  
  
  He lives very contentedly with his wife and two children in a village in
  Hampshire, where he acts in the local dramatic society (average age sixty-
  two), sings in the church choir (average age seventy-two) and for real
  excitement travels to the cinema in Basingstoke.
