Gabriel Evans grew up in a country town next to a river. He was always drawing on scraps of paper and building inventions from his 1920’s Boy’s Book of Hobbies. His dream was to be a train driver with a blue hat, a circus master with a curly moustache, or an illustrator. At the age of 17, he became a children's book illustrator, and he hasn't stopped working since. Aspects of this book were inspired by Gabriel's rescue Border Collie who thinks she is bigger than she is.
