Biographical note

My name is Gareth P Jones. I am an award-winning author and performer. I have written over 45 books for children of all ages, ranging from picture books to older, stranger, and sometimes scarier novels. I also spend a lot of time visiting schools and festivals where I sing songs about my books. Dan is a self-taught illustrator born in Essex in 1972. Dan moved to Kent as a child and finally settled in the tranquil village of Chartham. He creates his illustrations from the imaginary worlds between his (slightly hairy) ears. Dan loves sharp teeth, claws, creatures that want to take over the world and pretty much everything in between except clowns — so you won’t find any here. He’s continually improving his art and producing images for children that he hopes will knock their socks off!
