Jon Lycett-Smith is an illustrator and writer who lives in Devon, England with his long time partner Charlie, his daughter Ivy and his two exceedingly odd cats, Edward Waverley and Ava Schwapps. He divides his time between writing stories and illustrating them, both of which he enjoys immensely. He has three published books to his name, all through Walker Books ltd, and is currently working on a whole heap of new ideas. He spent 8 years or so in the video games industry, but has recently escaped and is now getting back to his first love of telling stories with pictures.
