Allison Rushby, the daughter of an author, was raised on a wholesome diet of classic English literature. She adores cities with long, winding histories, wild, overgrown cemeteries, red-brick Victorian museums, foxes and ivy. She likes to write with a cup of Darjeeling tea by her side and a Devon Rex cat called Claudia curled up in her lap. Her first book with Walker was The Turnkey (2016).
Rushby’s words have an enigmatic way of drawing you in,
simultaneously caressing your emotions whilst firing them up. This
oddly captivating tale sparkles with elements of surrealism,
history and esoteric magic.

Staff pick! Meg loved this intriguing and atmospheric new novel by
Alllison Rushby. The Mulberry Tree is perfect for 9-12 year olds

The Mulberry Tree is a delightful and inspiring tale with such a
beautiful undelaying meaning to it that I clutched the book to my
chest with a massive smile on my face!

If the ending is slightly too convenient, Rushby has still
successfully managed to balance the telling of a compelling but
not-too-creepy tale, which will ensure both upper primary and lower
secondary school readers will love this page-turning mystery.
