About the Author
Adam Blade is in his late twenties, and was born in Kent, England. His parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and Adam grew up surrounded by his father's paintings of historic English battles – which left a lifelong mark on his imagination. He was also fascinated by the ancient sword and shield that hung in his father's office. Adam's father said they were a Blade family heirloom.

As a boy, Adam would spend days imagining who could have first owned the sword and shield. Eventually, he created a character – Tom, the bravest boy warrior of them all. The idea for Beast Quest was born.

When Adam grew up and decided that he wanted to be a writer, he was stuck for ideas – until he remembered the old sword and shield, and the imaginary boy he had created when he was young. Adam decided to bring Tom fully to life so that readers could go on the kind of adventures that he always wanted to when he was that age... And still does, even though he's grown up!

When he's not writing Beast Quest books, Adam enjoys visiting museums and ancient battle sites. His main hobbies are fencing and football. He also spends a lot of time at home running around after his two exotic pets – a tarantula named Ziggy, and a capuchin monkey named Omar. These little rascals were the inspiration for two of the Beasts that Tom faces on his Quest – Arachnid and Claw.

Sadly, Adam does not have his own Fire-Dragon or Horse-Man. But he really wishes he did!

Customer Reviews

Good book
I liked it, though it is not as good as Tilly and the Wild Goats, but it is stil very good.

Very enjoyable and really liked it
Purchased this book for my 9 yr old (nearly 10) who think the Beast Quest series is brilliant. Gets through them in 1 or 2 days and wants all of the entire seroesn of each. Each title leaves him wanting more though I am trying to get him on to harder and older reading books.

Boys love it!
Personnally not my kind of book to read - but the boys rave on about them. As long as they are reading and talking about the adventures between the covers - I am happy! Great to get boys reading. They love it!
