Jane Bingham is a versatile writer for children and teenagers. Over the past 12 years, she has written more than 100 books for publishers such as Usborne, Heinemann, Hodder and Penguin. While she believes that any subject can be made exciting for young readers, her main areas of interest are history and art. Her history books aim to inject a sense of fun into learning about the past, and include titles such as Welcome to the Ancient OIympics! and A Time Travel Guide to the Aztec Empire (both published by Heinemann-Raintree). Her art books cover subjects as varied as Impressionism, graffiti and Aboriginal art, and often feature practical projects.
