After an English Literature degree, Dawn travelled in Africa and Asia. Returning home to Britain, Dawn started work for a wonderful family in their back garden-studio, publishing multi-cultural children's books.

Dawn now dreams up her own stories, inspired by the everyday magic of the world. She lives on the edge of the South Downs with her husband, two little ones, and a tabby cat.

Diana Mayo is a successful, freelance illustrator working in Chelmsford, just outside London. She gained a Ba(Hons) at Kingston University, and has since illustrated many children's books as well as adult fiction, editorials, gallery shows and design projects.

Diana paints with acrylics, and more recently collage is finding itself part of her art. She especially loves working with color and pattern, and is inspired by fairy tales, her children and the flora and fauna found in her garden and beyond. She lives in Chelmsford, UK.
