Janet Bingham writes fiction and nonfiction for children. Her science background includes a degree in Zoology and a long career as a technical editor specialising in chemical business information. Her nonfiction, and much of her fiction, reflects her interest in the natural world. She and her husband live in a Cambridgeshire village and are constantly delighted by the wildlife visiting the garden. Their two grown-up children have flown the nest but are often tempted back to browse the fridge and bookshelves. Roy Hermelin is a New York city based illustrator, born in Israel.
