Jamie Littler (Author, Illustrator)
Jamie Littler is one of the UK's bestselling and most beloved children's author-illustrators, whose work has been translated around the world. His debut novel, Frostheart, was an instant bestseller and nominated for the prestigious Branford Boase award, which he followed with the equally ambitious and exciting new series Arkspire. Jamie’s previous illustration work includes Hamish and the Worldstoppers which was the bestselling children's debut of 2015, and Wilf the Mighty Worrier, shortlisted for the Laugh Out Loud Book Awards.
When not trying to tame his unnaturally fast growing hair or having staring matches with next door's cat, he likes drawing, colouring in, cutting things out and sticking things in. He lives in Brighton.
<b>Praise for Frostheart:</b> Littler's debut is wild, funny, lavishly illustrated and filled with excitement.
