About the Authors
Roger Stevens visits schools, libraries and festivals performing his work and running workshops for young people and teachers. He spends his time between the Loire, in France, and Brighton, where he lives with his wife and a very, very, very shy dog called Jasper. He has published over thirty books for children, but Jasper says this book is the best one yet.
Brian Moses has been labelled 'one of Britain's favourite children's poets' by the National Poetry Archive. When asked by CBBC to write a poem for the Queen's 80th Birthday he wrote a poem from the point of view of her corgis which was framed and is probably hanging up in one of the lesser bathrooms in Buckingham Palace, or behind the dog kennels. His own dog, a fox red labrador called Honey, takes a very dim view of Brian putting words into her mouth and considers him to be barking mad for much of the time.
