Daisy May Johnson is a writer and researcher of children’s literature. Her books are about best friends forever, the sort of people you’d give the last chocolate biscuit too, how to be your true self in a complicated world, a Heartfelt Dislike of Kale, and an awful lot of puns.

Her research centres on the stories that girls tell and looks at how they tell them and what that tells us about the experience of “being a girl”. She has particular strengths in early twentieth century children’s fiction and the girls’ boarding school story. 

When she’s not doing any of that, you’ll find her reading her favourite boarding school stories, or baking the world’s best chocolate brownies.
