Anaïs Vaugelade
Anaïs Vaugelade est née à Saint-Ouen en 1973. Elle a vécu dans les Basses-Pyrénées jusqu'à dix-sept ans, puis est venue à Paris pour faire de la photo à l'école des arts décoratifs, et, parallèlement, des livres pour enfants à l'école des loisirs. Outre son goût prononcé pour les loups ("Une soupe au caillou" et "L'anniversaire de Monsieur Guillaume") et pour les crocodiles ( série des "Zuza"), Anaïs Vaugelade est une grande spécialiste des cochons (série de la famille "Quichon"). Ceux qui lisent ses livres ou reçoivent ses cartes de vœux - ou les deux - le savent depuis longtemps : elle est aux cochons ce que Claude Ponti est aux poussins.

Growing up
Buy books on Amazon
I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in disguise. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him).
Mary and I were always creating imaginary characters and mimicking real ones, and I used to write shows and choreograph ballets for us. A wind-up gramophone wafted out Chopin waltzes.
I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married.
Busking and books
Before Malcolm and I had our three sons we used to go busking together and I would write special songs for each country; the best one was in Italian about pasta.
The busking led to a career in singing a -
Roberto Innocenti
Italian illustrator Roberto Innocenti (born 1940) is known for his highly detailed, painterly style and his devotion to realistic representation in such classic works as Cinderella, The Adventures of Pinocchio, A Christmas Carol, and Nutcracker. He is also the illustrator of an original Holocaust tale, Rose Blanche, that has been highly publicized throughout Europe and the United States. Innocenti's illustrations are unmistakable, demonstrating a delicacy of palette as well as a refinement of line, both of which are surprising in light of the fact that Innocenti is completely self-trained in art.
