Sara Corrin, along with her late husband Stephen, is well-known for her distinguished and popular anthologies for children. Sara says her greatest joy is sharing stories with children - as a teacher, she became known as The Storyteller, and pupils would come back years after they had left school to recall the tales they had enjoyed in her classes. Sara's storytelling took her to America, Holland, and all over Great Britain. Sara lives in London. Shirley Hughes has illustrated more than 200 children's books. Her many awards include the Kate Greenaway Medal and the prestigious Eleanor Farjeon Award for her services to children's literature.
