Damian Dibben

His novels have been translated into twenty-seven languages, in more than forty countries. His young adult series, THE HISTORY KEEPERS, was described by The Observer as “one of the hottest properties in children’s fiction today.” His last book TOMORROW, a story that spans the centuries, was hailed by the Evening Standard as “An unforgettable tale of love and courage,” and by Micheal Morpurgo as “A book to read again and again.” Damian’s ambitious follow up, THE COLOURIST, is a romantic thriller set against the lush backdrop of the Renaissance art world.
