Aislinn O'Loughlin

Aislinn O’Loughlin started writing books as a teenager with the aid of her father, Larry O’Loughlin. She is well known for her hilariously quirky and fast-paced reworkings of famous fairy tales. Her first book, Cinderella’s Fella, was written when she was only fourteen, A Right Royal Pain: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin (selected as a White Raven book by international librarians), followed only a few months later. The Emperor’s Birthday Suit and Shak & the Beanstalk and Fionn the Cool were all published by Wolfhound Press.

Aislinn studied at University College Dublin and lives in Templeogue.
