ABOUT US

The Blog

Children’s stories, written from a decidedly cynical adult viewpoint and illustrated with much more joyful drawings. 

The Illustrator

Stief is a very talented artist, who likes off beat subjects such as octopuses wearing top hats and evil animals. He currently lives in Wales, where he fights crime whilst wearing a cape. He rides a dragon to work, unless it rains, in which case he catches a bus. In his spare time, he collects stamps. 

The Writer

Rachel read too many books as a child, and was always disappointed when the endings weren’t realistic enough. She currently lives in London, where she is training to be a fully qualified sorceress. In her spare time, she is a keen golfer and miniature train enthusiast.
