Rachel Chivers Khoo was born in Belfast and spent much of her childhood reading books in her local library while sheltering from the Northern Irish rain. When she was nine, she promised an invisible tiger that one day she would write her own stories. Rachel studied English Literature at Trinity College, Oxford, and Creative Writing at Queen's University, Belfast, before working in book publishing. She is the author of The Wishkeeper's Apprentice and The Magician Next Door. Rachel lives in Oxford with her family and far too many books. Laura Catalán is a Spanish children's book illustrator. She obtained a degree in Anthropology while practising her favourite activity from childhood: drawing. For several years she attended drawing lessons at the Fine Arts Centre of Sant Lluç in Barcelona. She then decided to shift gears and pursue a career in children's illustration as it merged two of her favourite things in the world: books and drawing. For over a decade she has been illustrating educational material and children's fiction, especially middle grade fiction and picture books for clients all over the world. Laura lives in Barcelona. |
