Diana Hendry (Author) Diana Hendry lives in Edinburgh, and is well-connected on the literary scene. Her picture book, The Very Noisy Night , was adapted into a show by Blunderbus Theatre Company. She has given readings, poetry readings, workshops and talks to children and adults at numerous festivals throughout the UK including Cheltenham, Edinburgh, Dead Good Poets, Liverpool and Wigtown Book Festival and she has visited schools all around the country from Devon to the Shetlands. She relates to children and teenagers (and adults) with just the right mix of seriousness and fun and they appreciate her dry, mischievous sense of humour. Edward Eaves (Illustrator) Ed Eaves was born in the West Midlands and went to Kingston University where he got a First Class Honours Degree in Illustration. He is a young, upcoming illustrator who is also working on titles for Little Tiger Press and Puffin. Fairy Tale Secrets, written by Marion Rose (September 03), is Ed's first book. Fairy Tale Secrets reveals what those fairy tale characters get up to when everyone's back is turned.

Ed's bright and cheeky illustrations perfectly complement Marion's witty rhymes. Ed claims that he is 'still a big kid really' which explains his interest in video games, old toys and comics. He also enjoys golf and walking and has been on drawing trips to Madrid and Budapest. Edward lives in Solihull, in the West Midlands.
