Hilary Devonshire (Author)
Hilary Devonshire has written books for young children on a number of different subjects, ranging from science to arts and crafts.
Ali Ardington (Illustrator)
Ali Ardington is a children's book illustrator, designer and author from Oxfordshire. Her childhood was spent with either her nose in a book, or a pencil in hand creating funny monsters that could gobble up her twin brother. Her love for illustration and reading led her happily into children's publishing and she now works on a wide range of books, from picture books to non-fiction and novelty. As busy as she is, juggling kids, spaniels and life, she still always finds time to doodle the odd monster eating brother, for old times' sake.
