The Time of the Lion - Hardcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Jackie Morris is an author, illustrator and artist. She lives and works in a small cottage by the sea in Wales, UK. She loves colour, cats, birds and flight, walking, reading, magic and dragons, kites, dandelion clocks, dogs and horses (especially the black and white heavy footed kind with great liquid eyes) and many other things.

Above the house where she lives is a rare thing, a dark sky where stars are clear and visible, and every night she walks, watching the moon wax and wain and the stars turn across the ocean of air.

If she could have one special thing it would be a time machine so that the days could be longer. She has written and illustrated a few books.

Caroline Pitcher just loves writing! She is full of ideas for picture books. Her constant inspiration is the natural world, especially Greece and beautiful Derbyshire. She writes stories to read aloud, comic books and novels for children and young adults. Sometimes she visits schools and festivals, and leads workshops. At any time Caroline is writing two or three different books.

Caroline's books have won the Kathleen Fidler Award, chosen as the Independent Story of the Year, and they have been given Writers' Awards by the Arts Council and East Midlands Arts. Her books have been shortlisted for the Stockton and Portsmouth Awards, chosen as book of the month by Ottakars (remember them?), nominated for the Carnegie Medal, the Greenaway Award, the English Association 4-11 Award, and the Children's Book Award.
