Nathanael Lessore (author) was born in Camberwell, South East London, as one of eight children to French and Madagascan parents. Although he has spent most of his life in Peckham, Nathanael has also lived in Paris, Strasbourg and Singapore. He is the author of STEADY FOR THIS and KING OF NOTHING, teen novels that allow him to show life in South East London as the funny, warm, adventurous world that wasn’t always represented as such when he was a child.
