關於作者:
Laurence Anholt has written over seventy books, many in
collaboration with his wife Catherine. They are both highly
regarded in the UK and abroad as a successful authorillustrator
team, and have had their books translated into many different
languages. \n \nThey met as undergraduates at Falmouth School of
Art, and went on to achieve Master''s Degrees from the Royal Academy
of Art and the Royal College respectively. \n \nThe books which
they have collaborated on are based firmly within their own
family''s experiences, and many of Catherine''s illustrations depict
scenes which families will recognise. It is this element which has
helped to make their books so successful. \n \nLaurence also writes
and illustrates his own books, and has written books with other
illustrators, notably the Seriously Silly Stories, a topsy turvy
series based on traditional tales but with a wonderful new twist.
These were hilariously illustrated by Arthur Robins. In this
series, Snow White and the Seven Aliens was awarded The Smarties
Book Prize, and was shortlisted for the Federation of Children''s
Book Groups Children''s Book Award and the Experian Big Three Book
Prize. Daft Jack and the Beanstack was on the Sheffield Book Award
shortlist and Ghostyshocks and the Three Scares was Pick of the
Year for the Children''s Book Award. \n \nLaurence writes for a wide
range of ages and is one of the most popular authors of today. \n
\nCatherine and Laurence Anholt live in Lyme Regis with their three
children.
