  2. BIOGRAPHY • Mark Haddon was born in Northampton in 1962. He graduated from Oxford University in 1981, returning later to study for an M.Sc. in English Literature at Edinburgh University. He then undertook a variety of jobs, including work with children and adults with mental and physical disabilities.  • Haddon is a vegetarian, and enjoys vegetarian cookery. Mark Haddon is married to Dr SosEltis, a Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford

  3. In 2003 his novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, was published and has been hugely successful.  It is the first book to have been published simultaneously in two imprints - one for children and one for adults.   • Mark Haddon teaches creative writing for the Arvon Foundation and Oxford University.

  4. Mark Haddon was enjoying a successful career writing and illustrating children's books, as well as writing for popular children's television shows such as Microsoap and Starstreet before he surprised even himself with his wildly acclaimed first novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

  5. I’ve been writing for kids for a long time, and if you're writing for kids you're kind of writing for the kid you used to be at that age . I felt a great sense of freedom with this book because I felt like I was writing it for me." In presenting the final manuscript to his agent, however, it was decided that it would be marketed to both an adult and a teenage audience.
