About the Author

USA Today bestselling author Sarah Glenn Marsh has written several young adult novels and many picture books. Her Irish heritage has inspired a love of fairy folklore and fantastical storytelling from a young age. She lives with her husband, daughter, four dogs, several fish, and maybe a fairy or two in Richmond, Virginia.

Lilla Bolecz is an artist and folklore lover who specializes in graphic art, book illustration, dollmaking, and pattern design. Her passion is to create peculiar, thought-provoking, mystical scenes and characters. Her work is mostly inspired by mysticism, legends, spiritual experiences, mythology, and literature. Lilla uses both digital and traditional media, including ink, gouache, clay, and acrylics. She is always looking for meaningful connections, and to bring to life the unconventional and unique.
