Sammy and the Extra-Hot Chilli Powder - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Charlie Brooks left Eton to become a stable lad for racing legend Fred Winter. After riding in the Grand National, and winning the Cheltenham Festival as an amateur jockey, he became the youngest racehorse trainer in England. He has broadcast for Radio Five and Bloomberg TV and hosted his own sports programme, 'The Charlie Brooks Show'. He is a columnist for the Daily Telegraph and lives on his farm in the Cotswolds. His autobiography, Crossing the Line, was widely acclaimed.

Born in Hastings and now a seasoned Londoner Steve has been a life-long doodler, studying fine art and film making in Nottingham and Animation at the Royal College of Art.

Steve has honed his scratchy, spontaneous anarchic illustration style to make him the perfect partner for some of today’s leading childrens authors. His energetic black and white line and anarchist tendencies made him a great match for Puffin's best-selling Dennis the Menace fiction series and with his surreal sense of humour he was a natural pairing for Harry Hill's Matt Mills series and Francesca Simon’s Terrible Viking books published by Faber and Faber.

Steve has been happily immersed in a world of terrible vikings, living beards, Super Nans, talking dogs, farting horses & a graphic novel about talking poo as part of his varied work with authors like Phil Earle, Guy Bass, Gareth P Jones & James Turner.
