Sally Grindley lives in Cheltenham where she works on her many and varied books for children. She is the winner of the Smarties Gold Medal for Spilled Water. Pamela Venus lives in a long stone cottage on the North Yorkshire coast, illustrating children's books - her childhood ambition. She trained in Reigate and later in Birmingham. Her four grandchildren live very close at hand and have been her best reference and truest critics, and their toys the supporting cast in her pictures. Johanna Spyri was a Swiss author of children's stories, and is best known for her book Heidi.
