Bestselling author Jeremy Strong returns with new stories from the Big Forest!
Jeremy Strong has been writing for children for more than forty
years and has published over a hundred titles, many of which have
been translated. His work is much used in schools as the humour he
employs have proved a great way to lure children into a love of
reading. He also talks in schools and book festivals world-wide,
pushing the joys of both reading and writing.
At one time or another he has worked in offices, put the jam in
doughnuts, been a petrol attendant and he also taught for 16 years
until he managed to write his way out of it. He claims his hobbies
are sleeping and eating crusty bread but really he likes mooching
around galleries or indeed just mooching around.
He is married to Gillie and has a son and daughter, two
step-daughters, six grandchildren, four hens and an increasingly
famous cat, Jeeves. They live near Bath.
Rebecca Bagley is a freelance illustrator and book designer,
currently based in Bath. She was selected as one of the 2016
Cheltenham Illustration Awards winners. Rebecca has also
illustrated books by Gill Lewis and Harry Heape.
