Julian Gough is the Irish author of six beloved children's books about a rabbit and a bear, four acclaimed novels about human beings, a couple of BBC radio plays and a charming stage play about an economic catastrophe caused by goats. He also wrote the ending to the computer game Minecraft (a mysterious narrative popularly known as the End Poem). Ross Collins won the MacMillan Prize for his first picture book. Since then he's illustrated over 150 books for children and written a fair few too. Children in over 25 countries seem to enjoy them. Some of his glittering awards are the UKLA Award, the CILIP Amnesty Honour and The Royal Mail Book Award. He has been twice short listed for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal. His books The Elephantom and There's a Bear on My Chair have both been fabulously adapted for the stage. Ross lives in Glasgow with a strange woman, a hairy boy and a stupid dog. |
