Helen Baugh wrote her first book (a book of spells) as a very young child. After taking a degree, travelling and working as a copywriter, she finally came full circle and started writing children's books again. Helen lives with her partner and their two daughters near the sea in Sussex.

Simon is an artist and sculptor. After leaving Art College he worked in advertising, creating integrated campaigns for those big brands we see on TV, in print and on the world wide web of things. He once caught a mackerel and plays the guitar very badly. When he’s not hanging from a rock-face, you might find him sharpening his pencils and illustrating a book… Like this one.
