Spotted as a rare talent following his consistent
winning of creative writing competitions during his early teens, Gratian Vas began
his writing career by running a regular column for ‘The Teenager’ and had his
first book (still in print) published by his early twenties. He has worked as a
teacher, a warden, a headmaster, a principal and a resource person in reputed
educational institutions before moving to writing full time for children. In
his long career, spanning over fifty years, he has written over 1500
educational and general books for young readers.
