Biographical note

Céline Claire was born in France, near a fir forest in the Vosges. She used to read so many stories to her elementary school pupils that it made her want to write her own. Ten years and over thirty books later, she still has many more ideas. Magali Le Huche is well-known for her audacious and humorous style. She loves to bring magical and eccentric characters to life.
