About The Author Sarah Stuart lives on the edge of a quiet English village where wildlife sightings are common, though becoming less so. Hunting with dogs is now illegal in the UK: it goes on in secret and incidences of this are almost impossible to prove in court.

These ranged from actors and actresses in their first, or early, roles to worldwide superstars of stage and screen. That exp...
