The Nutcracker

Jamie has been growing his amazing collection of much-loved traditional tales and fairy tales since he was small. Now that he is a grown up, and writes tales of his own, he is still influenced by the many illustrated books that transported him when he was very young. Jamie lives in a magical, quiet corner of the English countryside with his energetic dogs and inquisitive cats. After Lucy completed her art foundation course in Cheltenham and her illustration degree in Exeter, she worked at various publishing companies in London before becoming a freelance illustrator. She worked for many years with acrylic paint and pencils but has recently adapted her illustration style and now works digitally. As well as illustrating for others, she also writes and illustrates her own stories, quite often inspired by her two children!
