Biografisk notat

Frances studied archeology, anthropology and classics at Cambridge, and then worked as a journalist all over the world. Eventually she returned to her childhood love of writing stories, especially picture books which she describes as being, "Like poetry: born to be read aloud. To be tasted, chewed, savoured, and finally swallowed with a satisfying ‘Ah!' – leaving just enough room, of course, for sneaky second helpings!" Frances lives in Bedfordshire with her husband and their cats. Jen Khatun is an illustrator of Bangladeshi/Indian heritage, who grew up in the beautiful city of Winchester and has had the delight of working with many publishing houses. Inspired by the natural surroundings, her childhood favourite stories and the magical moments found in everyday life, Jen loves to weave colourful illustrations. She now lives by the coast of East Sussex, and you will often find her by the sea with her fiancé and their dog Juno, exploring away in their new adventure!
