About the Author

Abie Longstaff is the eldest of six children and grew up in Australia, Hong Kong and France. She knows all about squabbling, chaos and bossing younger sisters around. So she logically began her career as a barrister. She started writing when her children were born. Her favourite childhood books were Hating Alison Ashley, A Little Princess, Maura's Angel and The Black Stallion and she sneakily reads them again sometimes. Abie lives in north London with her family and a very pesky cocker spaniel who chews the post.

After graduating from Central St Martins in 1995, Nila Aye became a firm favourite of the London illustration scente. She describes her artwork as 'retro modern with a cute twist. Stylish and sweet at the same time'. Nila has established a loyal client base over the years and loves working on a range of projects.
