Caryl Lewis is a multi-award-winning Welsh novelist, children's writer, playwright and screenwriter. Her breakthrough novel Martha, Jac a Sianco is widely regarded as a modern classic of Welsh literature, is on the Welsh curriculum, and the film adaptation - with a screenplay by Lewis herself - went on to win six Welsh BAFTAS. Lewis's other screenwriting work includes BBC/S4C thrillers Hinterland and Hidden.
Lewis has won Wales Book of the Year three times and is the only writer to have won in both languages. Caryl's work for children has twice scooped the Tir na n-Og Award, and has been shortlisted for both the Branford Boase and The Week Junior Awards. Her picture books include The Boy Who Dreamed Dragons and The Boy and the Octopus, both illustrated by Carmen Saldana, and I Love You Every Colour illustrated by Jill Calder.

George Ermos is a Derby based illustrator who graduated from the university of Lincoln in 2014. Since graduating he has worked on illustrating many stories, preferring titles with historical or mysterious themes. His interest in history has led to an obsession with all things old and time-worn, from retro packaging to antique curios, the hunt for more illustrative inspiration never ends.
