Caroline Young is a writer and author specialising in fashion and film history. She is the co-author of Tartan and Tweed, and the author of Classic Hollywood Style, Hitchcock's Heroines, Roman Holiday: The Secret Life of Hollywood in Rome, and Welbeck's The Colour of Fashion.

Originally from Edinburgh, where she still lives, she took a Masters in Journalism in Brisbane, Australia after studying English and film and TV studies at Glasgow University. She worked as a fashion writer and assistant digital editor at Herald Scotland. She also has a strong interest in the golden age of Hollywood, and has extensively researched at archives in Los Angeles for her books on film history and costume.

Marta Cabrol was born near Barcelona in 1976. She was very lucky to have a mother who worked in the library where she spent many hours reading lots of books. This was an important influence on her because it helped create a special sensibility to the world of images.

Now for her own illustrations, she combines the children's world of imagination, storytelling, and reading, which have always been an important part of her life.
