About the Author

James Mayhew is an internationally acclaimed author, artist and storyteller. Once Upon A Tune was inspired by his work with orchestras and musicians, presenting concerts that incorporate stories, music and art created live on stage. He is the illustrator of the Mrs Noah series written by Jackie Morris (twice nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal). He lives in Suffolk, England, where the big skies and gentle light are perfect for artists.
