About the Author

Hannah Wilson has worked in publishing for many years as an editor and now an author. She lives in London (Stoke Newington). Chris Dickason's work has been described as charming and visually striking with a sharp graphic style. His illustrations are populated with rambunctious characters that are a cleverly crafted mix of an uncomplicated line style, wonky perspectives and conspicuous colour choices.
