Ende was one of the most popular and famous German authors of the 20th century, mostly due to the enormous success of his children's books.

Ende’s writing could be described as a surreal mixture of reality and fantasy. The reader is often invited to take a more interactive role in the story, and the worlds in his books often mirror our reality, using -

Morris
The Belgian author Morris (full name Maurice de Bevere) is best known for his humorous cowboy character, Lucky Luke. Morris started his career in 1945 in Le Moustique, creating various covers and illustrations. By the end of the 1940s, Morris met his colleagues Jijé, Franquin and Will. These four artists would be called "The Gang of 4", because they all worked in Jijé's studio at that time. The first episode of Lucky Luke, 'Arizona 1880', was published in L'Almanach Spirou 1947, and was later continued in Spirou. In his early 'Lucky Luke' comics, Morris was greatly inspired by animated cartoons à la Disney.

Jean-Philippe Arrou-Vignod
Après des études à l'Ecole normale supérieure et une agrégation de lettres, il est aujourd'hui professeur de français dans un collège. Boulimique de lecture durant toute son enfance, il s'essaye assez tôt à l'écriture et publie son premier roman en 1984. Lorsqu'il écrit pour les adolescents, c'est avec le souci constant de leur offrir des livres qu'il aurait aimé lire lui-même à leur âge. Il se fie donc à ses souvenirs pour écrire et profite du contact avec ses élèves qui ont l'âge de ses héros de romans. Depuis 1994, Jean-Philippe Arrou-Vignod est consultant sur les collections de fiction de Gallimard Jeunesse et est directeur de la nouvelle collection Hors Piste.

Jul est né en 1974. Avant de devenir dessinateur, il vagabonde dans de longues études, de Normale Sup' à l'agrégation d'Histoire, de la recherche en sinologie à l'enseignement universitaire... Mais son enfance passée dans une école alternative a semé des graines coriaces : défroqué de l'Education Nationale, il entre comme dessinateur au Nouvel Observateur, puis à Charlie Hebdo en 2001 où la joie du dynamitage hebdomadaire de l'actualité le conquiert définitivement.
