He also plays the drums, strums a guitar (pretty badly), and has an unhealthy enthusiasm for elderly German campervans. When colouring-in he never goes over the lines. Well, almost never. He lives and works in Devon, with his two children and a nutty Spaniel.

He sells one million books a year and is the most borrowed British author in school libraries.
