HEIDI - JEANNE WILLIS GEBUNDEN

Jeanne Willis (Author) Jeanne Willis wrote her first book when she was five - a slim volume
about cats written in pencil and stitched together with a painfully blunt needle so that it
looked like a 'real' book. After that  there was no turning back. Having been fired from her
Saturday job - selling cowboy boots on the Kings Road - for chewing gum  and after a brief
career as a reptile vet's assistant  she worked as a copywriter and had her first picture book
published at the age of 21 (which she wrote whilst pretending to be busy creating adverts for
cognac). She has since written over 300 books and has won several awards  which are arranged in
the attic where she works  along with her collection of caterpillars  pink-toed tarantula skins
and live locusts. Jeanne has a keen interest in Natural History and has lost count of the
number of species featured in her books  including everything from slugs to sloths. She is
currently into corvids - especially Nosy Crows. Briony May Smith (Illustrator) Briony May Smith
grew up in Sandhurst in Berkshire  playing in the garden with her younger brother and sister.
She studied Illustration at Falmouth University and was Highly Commended for the Macmillan
Children's book prize in 2013 and 2014. She now lives in Devon  where her work day mainly
consists of drawing fairies  interrupted only when her dog  Finbar  demands his walk. Briony's
work is inspired by fairy tales and folklore and life in the country.
