About the Author

Jane Porter is an author and illustrator specializing in work both for and with children. Her work ranges from picture and novelty books to children's maps, murals and hand-made books suitable for outreach work. She has worked for a number of organizations, including the National Trust, English Heritage, London Zoo, the Corporation of London, Historic Royal Palaces and the National Health Service. When she's not working, Jane is often to be found on the River Thames in a coracle or skiff, looking out for passing bats, cormorants and wagtails.

Neil Clark grew up in the picturesque Yorkshire Wolds. Despite dreams of being a rock and roll star, his love for illustration and storytelling has lead to a happy and successful career in design. He has designed in-house for Hallmark Cards and Marks and Spencer and has illustrated a number of children's books. This is his first book for Walker.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
