About the Author

As a small boy Peter Carnavas enjoyed copying out his favourite picture books and occasionally typed a small newspaper about the goings-on of his household. Peter spent most of his teenage years playing the guitar and drawing characters all over his school books. Peter has now grown up and when he is not writing and illustrating, he is teaching children. If it was all up to Peter, he would spend most of his time reading books with his daughters, trying to play the mandolin and drawing pictures of little people.
