Ian Whybrow loved everything about his first school. He particularly enjoyed the
taste of ink and the precious minutes spent in Mrs. Latymer's office having an orange
crayon removed from his nostril. Since then he has written numerous books for children,
ranging from picture books to poetry to novels. He lives with his wife and two daughters
in Herefordshire, England.
Adrian Reynolds was born in Castell-nedd, South Wales,
and he wasn't too impressed with school on the first day. When the bell rang for
lunch, he walked back home on his own. (He was four.) He was very disappointed to
find himself being returned for the afternoon. Later he studied at the Swansea College
of Art and at Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology. He lives in Cambridge.
