Natalia and Lauren O'Hara are sisters from the north of England. In the daytime they edit scripts and design sets and at night they draw and write together. As children they loved fairy tales, animal fables and the stories their Polish grandmother told on snowy nights. Frindleswylde is their third collaboration. Their previous picture books are Hortense and the Shadow and The Bandit Queen, both published by Puffin. Lauren is also the illustrator of Sophie Dahl's Madame Badobedah.

Lauren O’Hara’s illustrations are exquisite, and dance alongside her sister’s words. * Sophie Dahl * A book of icy loveliness: full of grace and adventure * Katherine Rundell * A hauntingly lovely snowy fable ... with a heart and soul of its own * Anna James * Frindleswylde will add to the sum of enchantment in this world * Angela Barrett *
