Early life and careerLongstaff was raised in Australia and lived in Hong Kong and France before relocating to England, where she resides today. She lives in Hove.[1] Before becoming a writer Longstaff was a barrister and a legal policy analyst with an interest in policing.[4] Writing careerLongstaff appears in the British Library’s current list of the "Top 500 Most Borrowed Authors" at number 192.[5] Along with illustrator Lauren Beard, she is the winner of the Never Too Young Award[6] for the best book for children under four for The Mummy Shop. Longstaff was a judge for the Amnesty (Carnegie) CILIP 2018 Commendation which was eventually won by Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give.[7] TelevisionThe Nickelodeon children’s television series Sunny Day, produced by Silvergate Media,[8] is based on Longstaff’s The Fairytale Hairdresser books.[9][10] Critical receptionLongstaff’s fiction incorporates the genre and associated tropes of fairy tales and magic,[11] frequently offset with modern settings and humour.[12] Her Fairytale Hairdresser books have been described as giving ‘a new spin on a traditional fairy tale’[13] and as ‘fairy tale[s] with a twist'.[14] The Guardian called them 'considerably more nuanced and subversive than they appear on the surface'[15] and they are known for their positive representation of diversity and multiculturalism.[16] Longstaff’s books for older children make use of historical references,[17] and complex literary elements such as footnotes and non-fiction material, alongside characters who are ‘brave and smart and inspirational’.[18] BooksPicture Books
