Media Reviews
Kennedy employs her trademark literary style to vividly bring her characters to life, while the improbably sunny Scottish setting, punning word play and unusual adjectives add an extra edge to this comic caper. * The Irish Times *
Author Bio
A.L. Kennedy was born in a small Scottish town far too long ago and has written books for adults and children, but mainly adults. Before that she made up stories to amuse herself. It has always surprised her that her job involves doing one of the things she loves most and she's very grateful to be a writer. She has won awards for her books in several countries. She has travelled all over the world and enjoyed it immensely. She plays the banjo badly, but makes up for this by never playing it anywhere near anyone else. Gemma Correll is a cartoonist, writer, illustrator and all-round small person. She's the author of A Cat's Life (Te Neues, 2012), A Pug's Guide to Etiquette (Dog N Bone, 2013) and The Worrier's Guide to Life (Andrews McMeel, 2015) and the illustrator of Pugly Bakes a Cake (Nosy Crow, 2016) and Petunia Perry and the Curse of the Ugly Pigeon (Nosy Crow, 2015), both by Pamela Butchart. Her illustration clients include Hallmark, The New York Times, Oxford University Press, Knock Knock, Chronicle Books and The Observer.
