The Magic Faraway Tree meets Worst Witch - a magical young fiction series, perfect for first readers.
Abie Longstaff (Author)
Abie Longstaff is the eldest of six children and grew up in
Australia, Hong Kong and France. She knows all about squabbling,
chaos and bossing younger sisters around. So she logically began
her career as a barrister. She started writing when her children
were born. Her favourite childhood books were Hating Alison Ashley,
A Little Princess, Maura's Angel and The Black Stallion and she
sneakily reads them again sometimes. Abie lives in Hove with her
family.
Lauren Beard (Illustrator)
Lauren Beard is an illustrator based in Manchester. As a child she
loved drawing and reading, and would write and illustrate short
stories for her two younger brothers. She has been fascinated by
animals, fairy tales and folklore since childhood, when she would
visit her Irish Grandma and was told to "watch out for the
fairies!" Her work is hand-drawn and coloured both digitally and by
hand. Lauren enjoys adding little details to her illustrations
appealing to children and adults alike. Lauren lives with her cat,
Sushi, who keeps her company when drawing.
Another new series which promises to be a big hit with young
readers . . . Abie Longstaff is a great writer for young children,
who knows just how to capture her readers' attention and encourage
them to enjoy reading
