Eva Roos

I was born and I currently live in a small Eastern-Europe country - Estonia.
A big part of me is Estonia's magical nature that still keeps old fairy tales alive and people that are stubborn, innovative, and creative - all thanks to rather difficult history.
I grew up with a lot of books. Some of them were rare and expensive, so my parents prohibited me to touch them (also, just in case, to even look at them for very long), making sure I was curious and completely hooked on books from a very early age.

The base of my education is languages - which is more or less a given if one's native language is spoken by only about a million people.
I have always been somewhat fascinated by beliefs, mythology, magic, and superstitions, so I chose to learn sc

Ole Lund Kirkegaard

Ole Lund Kirkegaard, 1940-1979, dansk forfatter af børnebøger, som han selv har illustreret.
Hans personer, bl.a. i debutromanen Lille Virgil (1967), er ofte opfindsomme, legende børn, som sammen med skæve eksistenser og folkepensionister står i et modsætningsforhold til samfundets normer og autoriteter, dvs. fortravlede voksne, som har glemt at være børn.
En mere eventyrlig side findes i bøger som Hodja fra Pjort (1970) om drengen, der drager ud i den store verden for at finde sit flyvende tæppe, og Otto er et næsehorn (1972) om det tegnede næsehorn, som bliver levende og en god allieret i kampen mod de voksne.
Ole Lund Kirkegaard repræsenterer frem for nogen det, som er blevet kaldt 1960'ernes og 1970'ernes "kulturelle frisættelse af barnet"

Katie Kirby

Katie Kirby is a writer and illustrator who lives by the sea in Hove with her husband, two sons and dog Sasha.

She has a degree in Advertising and Marketing and after spending several years working in London media agencies, which basically involved hanging out in fancy restaurants and pretending to know what she was talking about, she had some children and decided to start a blog called 'Hurrah for Gin' about the gross injustice of it all.

Many people said her sense of humour was silly and immature so she is now having a bash at writing children's fiction. The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks is her first novel.

Katie likes gin, rabbits, over-thinking things, the smell of launderettes and Monster Munch. She does not like losing at
