Stefano the Squid: Hero of the Deep

Wendy Meddour was brought up in the seaside town of Aberystwyth. She loved the sea, but she loved books even more, so she left the seaside to study. After getting her doctorate, Wendy went to teach English Literature at Oxford University. But now she's got the best of both worlds. She lectures, writes and reads her books at a university near the seaside in Devon. Duncan is a bestselling author and illustrator who has been drawing and doodling since childhood, sprawled out on his parent's living room carpet with felt tip in fist. He now sits upright to draw from his studio in Bristol, where he lives with his wife, daughter and demanding springer spaniel.
