Carolyn Sparey Fox is a professional musician and author living in Scotland. During her long musical career she has worked extensively in London, where she performed for the first London production of Jesus Christ Superstar, and in Scotland, as principal viola with the Scottish Chamber orchestra and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

As an author, Carolyn’s first two books, published by George Ronald, The Half of it was Never Told and Seeking a State of Heaven, focus on the fascinating history of Adventism during the 19th Century, particularly in North America, Britain, and Europe. Carolyn’s inspiration for writing children’s stories was the birth of her granddaughter, and the third of these, ’Abdu’l-Bahá’s Little Brown Cat, was written in commemoration of the centenary of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s passing in November 1921.
