"Praise for Chip Colquhoun: ""Have been reading this at bedtime to a 9 year old and a 6 year old and they are both loving it, and I am too! Very engaging and accessible."" - ""Kindle Customer"" of Cambridgeshire Folk Tales for Children ""Fantastic book, aimed at children but suitable for all ages!"" - ""Amazon Customer"" of Cambridgeshire Folk Tales for Children ""Great for engaging the children. Even the children who usually don't listen as carefully as some of the others were just totally involved in it. It appeals to lots of different children's interests."" - Sarah, teacher of children aged 9-11 at Jeavons Wood Primary School ""I was particularly impressed, because some of my children are quite young, and some of the stories are quite long, but despite that they were really engaged in them. I think it was a combination of how it was written, and the themes in the stories."" - Helen, teacher of children aged 4-6 at Whaddon CE School Praise for Korky Paul: ""Vivid and wondrous"" - The Sunday Times ""Delightfully entertaining"" - Books for Keeps ""The pictures, as ever, bristle with an inspired lunacy that 5+ love."" - Amanda Craig, The Times"

Mario Coelho was born on the Brazilian island of Florianopolis. He worked as an artist and designer in the textile industry before moving to England in 1985. After completing a course in children's book illustration run by Korky Paul, Mario began receiving several commissions, starting with an edition of Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost published by Oxford University Press.

His first illustration job was a book teaching English, then a pop-up called The Crocodile and the Dumper Truck - but it was his work on Winnie the Witch that won the Children's Book Award in 1987 and made him a much-loved figure in the world of children's books. He's since illustrated for Oxford University Press, Penguin, Random House, and others. He lives in Oxford with his wife Susan.
