Helen Mason Young (1938 in Glasgow, Scotland – 1989 in London, UK) was a journalist and children's author.
She completed a number of successful children's books under her married name, Helen Young, including Wide Awake Jake, A Throne for Sesame and What Difference Does it Make, Danny?
[1] Eventually she resumed her journalism as a freelance columnist on a number of newspapers, such as The Observer and The Sunday Times.
As a journalist she was usually credited under her maiden name Helen Mason, and occasionally other pseudonyms to protect her children from the embarrassment of being identified by their friends with some of her more personal observations about them.
