She currently lives in Wales, sharing her time between writing and helping her husband with a summer art school.

1986

She is probably best known for two series of fantasy novels: The Magician Trilogy (1986–1989), contemporary stories rooted in Welsh myth, and Children of the Red King (2002–2010), featuring schoolchildren endowed with magical powers.

The Snow Spider, first of the Magician books, won the second annual Nestlé Smarties Book Prize and the 1987 Tir na n-Og Award as the year's best originally English-language book with an authentic Welsh background.

1989

The Snow Spider and its sequels were adapted for television by the screenwriter Julia Jones, as three miniseries that HTV aired 1989 to 1991.

The series introduced Osian Roberts as Gwyn Griffiths with Siân Phillips as grandmother Nain Griffiths, Robert Blythe and Sharon Morgan as his parents, and Gareth Thomas as Mr. Llewellyn.

In December 2023, Amazon MGM Studios announced that a film adaptation of the novel, Midnight for Charlie Bone, is in development.

Several others of hers have been shortlisted for children's book awards.

Jenny Nimmo was born in Windsor, England.

She was an only child, and her father died when she was five.

She was a voracious reader as a child, which led her to write her own stories to share with friends.

After working for a time in theatre, Nimmo spent several years with the BBC, partly on adapting other writers' stories for television, including 40 episodes (eight "stories") for Jackanory readings.

Her first book, The Bronze Trumpeter, began life as a television script.

2006

By 2006 Charlie Bone titles had been published in nine foreign-language editions.

Translations into eleven other languages were in progress.

Originally it was the Red King Quintet after which Nimmo contracted for a new trilogy.

The story climaxes in the fifth book and again in the eighth.

Recently there is a new Red King series.

There are eight books in the series, all first published by Egmont Press in British trade paperback editions with cover art by David Wyatt.

Five volumes have variant titles in the United States.

In Britain this series has been published in one volume entitled The Snow Spider Trilogy.
