Russell Punter was born in Bedfordshire, England. From an early age he enjoyed writing and illustrating his own stories. He trained as a graphic designer at art college in West Sussex before entering the world of publishing. He has written over one hundred books for children of all ages, ranging from original stories to adaptations of classic novels. Lesley dreamed of being a writer, but studied law as her mother insisted she had "something to fall back on".

Nowadays, she is often found recording books, too, in Usborne's very own recording studio.
