Theodore Taylor was born in 1921 in North Carolina, USA. The idea for THE CAY, his first novel for children, came when he was researching an adult bookabout German submarine attacks in the Second World War. THE CAY was first published in 1969 and has won many literary awards. Theodore Taylor died in 2006. Also available in A Puffin Book: CHARLOTTE'S WEB and BACK HOME by Michelle Magorian CHARL
