Biography
Brian Caswell was born in a village called Gwernaffield in Wales, on 13 January 1954. His family moved to England, when he was 5 years old. At the age of 12, in 1966, Caswell's family moved to Australia. He received a Bachelor of Arts and a Diploma of Education, and graduated from the University of Sydney. In the 1970s, Caswell took up singing and songwriting, and was successful for a short period, one of his songs making the top 40 music charts before becoming a school teacher.
Caswell taught at several high schools, mainly as a history, English and creative writing. For 15 years he worked as a teacher and animal husbandrist, before he wrote his first book, Merryll of the Stone, in 1989. He gave up teaching after his success with the novel, and began to write full-time. Caswell lives in Tumbi Umbi, New South Wales, with his wife, Marlene.
