Margaret Nash grew up in the industrial West Riding of Yorkshire, and, as a child, was always fascinated by a sense of place, whether in the mill or on the moors. She has worked as a children's librarian in London and the home counties, has two grown-up sons, and now lives in rural Bedfordshire with a lazy lovable cat.
Martin lives in Cornwall with his wife and son. He is best known for his lively illustrations, and has just recently started writing.
He is passionate about home-grown British legends, in particular those from his home island of Sark.
