Autorentext
Matt Goodfellow is from Manchester.

Before embarking on his poetry career, Matt spent over 10 years as a primary school teacher. He is a National Poetry Day Ambassador.
Aleksei Bitskoff was born in Estonia in the former Soviet Union. He always loved to draw as a child and covered his exercise books in doodles. Aleksei studied language and literature, preparing to be a school teacher, then moved to England to study English. After travelling around Russia and Europe his love of drawing brought him back to illustration. His work has a unique sense of humour and he creates dream-like worlds inhabited by little monsters and patterns that come from his subconscious mind.
