Hi, I’m Stephen Davies. I write adventure stories that bring history vividly to life for young readers. My books include picture books, chapter books, comics and YA novels, all written to engage imaginations and support learning.
My particular passion is Ancient Egypt. Teachers often tell me that The Ancient Egypt Sleepover is a favourite in their KS2 classrooms, a lively whole-class read that gets children buzzing with excitement about their Ancient Egypt topic.

I love visiting primary and secondary schools to encourage young people in their own writing. Please see the School Visits page for details of the various sessions I offer, including my ‘Night at the Museum’ writing workshops.
