Robert J. Harris (Bob) is a Scottish academic and author, particularly of children's fantasies and historical novels, best known for his collaborations with Jane Yolen.
He also designed the fantasy board game Talisman and its sequel Mythgardia.
Harris was born in Dundee and studied at the University of St. Andrews, achieving a first class honours degree in Latin.
His recent adult suspense-adventure works The Thirty-One Kings and Castle Macnab feature the return of John Buchan's classic adventurer-spy character Richard Hannay, first made famous in The Thirty-Nine Steps book and films.
