Lu Fraser worked for many years in children's brand licensing before heading off to the country to start scribbling children's books in her wonky hut at the end of the garden. She is an incredibly exciting new picture book talent and The Viking Who Liked Icing is the first of four books contracted with Bloomsbury. Lu lives in Hampshire with her husband and young daughter. While living in Spain, Mark rediscovered a childhood love of drawing and realised his favourite thing to do is to make up silly stories and draw pigs robbing banks. He swiftly returned to England where he began studying Children's Book Illustration at The Cambridge School of Art. Mark lives in London.
