About Robin Wickens

Robin Wickens, affectionately known as the Rob of Rob’s Books, is a retired veteran who has seamlessly transitioned from serving his country to captivating imaginations with his literary creations. With a profound passion for fantasy and folklore, Robin’s work often explores mystical realms where mythical creatures thrive and the extraordinary becomes part of everyday life.

As both an author and publisher, Robin writes heartfelt, nature-inspired stories for curious children with big imaginations and muddy knees. Blending gentle adventure with meaningful themes, his books invite young readers to look more closely at the world around them—and at the friends who walk it with them.

Through Rob’s Books, Robin publishes across a wide range of genres, including:


  • Children’s Picture Books & Chapter Books – whimsical adventures, fairy tales with a twist, humorous mysteries, and magical worlds (Amberwood, Tumbledown Hollow, Wizzlewood Academy, Meadowbrook, and more).

  • Historical Fiction – heartfelt and human WWII stories, Victorian mysteries, and tales of quiet resilience in extraordinary times.

  • Fantasy & Gothic Tales – enchanted adventures, romantasy, and atmospheric Victorian gothic stories.

  • Educational & Activity Books – puzzle books, colouring collections, activity flip books, and creative learning titles for children and families.

  • Cookbooks & Lifestyle – fast and fresh recipe collections, BBQ sauces and dips, natural living, eco-friendly guides, and seasonal remedies.

Robin’s vision is simple: to create books that spark imagination, laughter, curiosity, and wonder—stories that children and adults alike will treasure, share, and return to again and again.
