Katharine McEwen studied Illustration at Kingston University and then spent two years in France as an artist in residence. She soon returned to England, and her big break came with the offer to illustrate The Man Who Wore All His Clothes by Alan Ahlberg. Katharine's colourful and characterful style is an instant winner – children love her animal cast of characters and the peculiarly human qualities they possess.

As you browse our website you will be informed of the stock status of particular titles. If you are unsure what the status means, an explanation will pop up when your mouse cursor moves over it.

Please note:
Individual titles stock status is updated three times a week so reports are normally accurate.

From time to time however we can have multiple orders come in between website updates so status reports for a short period of time may be inaccurate, which means a title listed as "In Stock" may need to go to backorder.

In the early 1960s, Allan studied teacher training in Sunderland, where he also met Janet, his future wife. He had tackled a wide variety of jobs, ranging from postman to plumber's mate before working as a primary teacher for ten years. Janet, however, discovering that she 'couldn't do the policing job', went on to study graphic design, which led her to her vocation as an illustrator.
