Fun London has always been fascinated by words and language. He spoke English and French at an early age. Despite being an avid reader (by the time he was twelve he had read the entire World Book Encyclopedia including the two-volume dictionary), he spent many days as a child outdoors exploring nature, earning an early nickname Natureboy. He could identify and draw every native plant and animal, and would often be seen hiking the nearby Pennsylvania woods with a pad and pencil in hand.

In addition to writing novels and short stories he works with children as a private tutor in Florida.
