Michelle Paver was born in central Africa, but moved to England as
a child. After earning a degree in biochemistry from Oxford
University, she became a partner in a London law firm, but
eventually gave that up to write full-time.
Chronicles of Ancient Darkness arises from her lifelong passions
for animals, anthropology, and the distant past. It was also
inspired by her travels in Norway, Lapland, Iceland, and the
Carpathian Mountains--and particularly by an encounter with a large
bear in a remote valley in Southern California.
