Who is Angie Sage?

Angie Sage, born in 1952, is an English author of children’s literature whose name travels with the Septimus Heap series, alongside the TodHunter Moon trilogy and the Araminta Spook books – published as Araminta Spookie in the United States and, going by the titles, aimed at young readers with a taste for the pleasingly spooky as well as the magical.

The public record keeps to the essentials, which leaves the books to speak for her – and they speak of staying power. Sustaining a multi-volume fantasy series, then following it with a trilogy and a further run of books, is the mark of a writer who knows how to keep young readers coming back for more, and British children’s fiction has a long tradition of exactly this kind of quietly prolific career.

Angie Sage in audiobooks

Our catalogue holds Septimus Heap, Book Two: Flyte, the second instalment of her Septimus Heap sequence, and children’s fantasy of this sort is a natural audiobook. Series fiction gives young listeners a world to settle into for the long haul and a returning cast whose voices become familiar company – the audio equivalent of a favourite bedtime ritual, stretched across many happy hours.

For UK families, Flyte works exactly as the numbering suggests – as a continuation, best begun from the series opener for full effect – but the appeal holds throughout: invention, adventure and magic pitched at precisely the age when those things matter most.
