Philip Ardagh, whose very first Grubtown Tale won him the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, is author of over 100 books. He is a 'regularly irregular' reviewer of children's books for the Guardian. Married with a son, he lives in the UK. Philip is two metres tall with a ridiculously large, bushy beard and size sixteen feet, making him instantly recognisable.
Jason Chapman draws and paints and writes in Devon where he lives with his wife, children, dog and cats.
