Cas has four children and lives in Oxfordshire with her family,
some chickens, a couple of cats and a daft dog called Bramble.
Nixie is based on her tomboy daughter who liked to wear her fairy
costume with wellington boots and a green plastic army hat. It was
a great look. Ali Pye is a children's book illustrator based in
London. Her first picture book, Where is Fred? by Edward Hardy, was

stories for Egmont, Orchard Books, Stripes, HarperCollins, Nosy
Crow, and Campbell Books.
`'[Cas Lester's] star-dusted new series featuring adorable Nixie
certainly packs a dramatic punch with its vivacious, visual
antics''
