Malachy Doyle lives in Ireland on a tiny island off the coast of Donegal, with his wife, cats, dogs, hens and ducks. Before writing children's books, he worked in advertising and as a teacher for children with special needs. Malachy has written over a hundred books and is the best-selling author of The Hound of Ulster and Rama and Sita: The Story of Diwali. Denise Hughes studied Fine Art at Winchester School of Art. Denise’s character-driven illustrations are inspired by childhood memories, animals and children. She is happiest when creating a new, fun character and can often be overheard giggling whilst drawing (or so her studio colleagues tell her!).
