I am trying to find contact details for, or, at least the homepage of,

Thanks...

No winning find of a website, I'm afraid.  But it is common practice
to contact an author through his publisher.  Oxford University Press
are the most recent publisher to bring out an edition of Fisk's work. 
They republished "A Rag, a Bone and a Hank of Hair" in November 2000.

Their contact details are:

Oxford University Press
(Oxford Children’s Books)
Great Clarendon Street
Oxford OX2 6DP
Tel: 01865 267 517
Fax: 01865 267 912
email: stokesca@oup.co.uk
web: http://www.oup.co.uk/children

You can find OUP's page on Fisk at:

http://www.oup.co.uk/isbn/0-19-275047-X

If OUP are no help, try Hodder. They brought out editions of
"Monster Maker", "Flip Side", "Mindbenders" and "Trillions" in 1998
and 1999.

Hodder Children's Books
338 Euston Road
London NW1 3BH
Tel: 020 7873 6000
Fax: 020 7873 6225

Hope this helps you make contact - good luck.  
Please ask if anything needs clarification.


search strategy:
Went to Amazon.co.uk to find out about most recent editions of Fisk's
work,
then to:
http://www.booktrusted.com/handbook/publishers/
to get publishers' addresses.

Not quite an answer to my question but I can't argue with the
reasoning... lots of detail here though. Thanks!

Probably a violation of our privacy rules. I think it's legitimate to
point out that you can go to the publisher for any public information.

Fair point -- but his books are mostly out of print. A homepage
maintained by Mr Fisk would be a winning find...
