About the author
After a high-flying career in national newspapers (The Daily Telegraph, FT, Times, Sunday Times), design director Fiona Hill left London for rural Aberdeenshire, six horses, two dogs, two cats, eight chickens, twin children and partner Hugh. Fiona makes design decisions every day as part of her work: ‘Everything I see, I judge. From colours in the landscape to the spaces between letters on road signs… It can be exhausting, and I only switch off when I close my eyes at night!’ fiona@finkspublishing.com

About the illustrator
Chris Duggan is a leading illustrator and cartoonist whose pictures have appeared in many publications, from Vogue to Punch. He’s used to tight deadlines and obscure subjects – so it was a refreshing change to work on his first children’s book with former Daily Telegraph colleague Fiona. dugganillustration@dsl.pipex.com
