About the Author

Carys Bexington was born and raised near the Jurassic Coast in west Dorset and spent her childhood climbing every single tree in the fields around her family's old and draughty farm house, filling jotter after jotter with illustrated stories of her adventures. Her drawing skills have not improved, however, she hopes that her rhyming tales capture the love she has for a good old fashioned quest and her soft spot for characters who don't necessarily always make the best choices. Her debut picture book is The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland', Macmillan Children's Books. Mark Chambers is an author and illustrator of children's picture books and young fiction. He studied Illustration at University and since graduating has been represented by the London and New York Illustration agency, Bright Group International. In 2017 Mark was shortlisted for the AOI World Illustration Awards and in 2013, The Roald Dahl Funny Prize. In the same year he went on to win the Sheffield Children's Picture Book Award and was also highly commended in the young fiction category. Some of Marks' clients include Hodder Children's, Bloomsbury, Macmillan, Simon & Schuster, Amazon and Marks & Spencer. Mark lives and works in France with his wife and their very bouncy hound.
