Author Biography

Nick Butterworth was born in North London in 1946 and grew up in a sweet shop in Essex. He now lives in Suffolk with his wife Annette and they have two grown-up children, Ben and Amanda.

Reviews

After the Storm: '...look no further for the best present for any child from two to six.' Susan Hill, The Sunday Times The Rescue Party: '...it's good for reading aloud to under-fives, and later the six-pluses will still want to read it themselves.' The Independent on Sunday Percy's Bumpy Ride: 'Imaginatively detailed illustrations and just the right amount of suspense.' Practical Parenting One Snowy Night 'A heartwarming bedtime tale...' Susan Hill, The Independent
