Greenwild: The City Beyond the Sea - The City Beyond the Sea

Pari Thomson is Editorial Director for picture books at Bloomsbury Children's Books. Half Persian, half English, she lived in many places while she was growing up, including India, Pakistan, the USA, the UK and Belgium. She studied at Oxford University and now lives near the river in London, not far from Kew Gardens. Greenwild: The World Behind the Door is her debut novel. Elisa Paganelli was born in Modena (Italy) in 1985, and since childhood books have been her bestfriends.
After completing artistic studies she made a career in advertising and has been the founder and owner of a small award winning design and trade business. She now lives and works in UK as a freelance Illustrator and Creative Designer, accompanied by her beloved pets. Elisa loves quietness, the wind and she truly feels home when in the wild nature. On her bedside table you'll find a pile of psychology books, and very often one of her cats.
