The Night Before Christmas in Neverland

About the Author

Kate Hindley lives in Bristol. She studied illustration at Falmouth College of Art, and went on to work for two years as a children's print designer at a studio in Northampton, whilst working freelance on children's books and greetings cards. She has exhibited with her good chums Girls Who Draw and Inkygoodness across the UK, and had a jolly good time painting up a totem pole for the Pictoplasma Character Walk exhibition 2011. Kate's first picture book The Great Snortle Hunt, written by Claire Freedman, was longlisted for the 2013 Kate Greenaway Medal. Since then Kate has provided illustrations for a number of bestselling picture books including How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth, You Must Bring a Hat and Worst in Show. She was also closely involved in the creation of the animated film, based on The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland. Carys Bexington was born and raised near the Jurassic Coast in West Dorset. She spent her childhood climbing every single tree in the fields around her family's old and draughty farm house, filling jotter after jotter with illustrated stories of her adventures. Though, her drawing skills have not improved, she hopes that her rhyming tales capture her love for a good old fashioned quest and soft spot for characters who don't always make the best choices. She lives and works near the seaside in West Dorset and The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland, was her picture book debut and is now an animated film.
