About the Author

Chris Mould has illustrated the gamut from picture books and young fiction, to theatre posters and satirical cartoons. As well as writing his own fiction and illustrating Ted Hughes' The Iron Man to much critical success, he has teamed up with author Matt Haig for the bestselling A Boy Called Christmas, A Girl Who Saved Christmas, Father Christmas and Me and The Truth Pixie. He lives in Yorkshire with his wife, has two grown-up daughters, and when he's not drawing and writing, you'll find him . . . actually, he's never not drawing or writing.

H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was an English novelist, journalist, sociologist and historian best known for his classic science fiction novels The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds and his comic novels Tono-Bungay and The History of Mr. Polly.
