About the author
Nestled in a studio above a coffee shop on the south coast of England, Kingston University graduate Sarah Maycock creates magic with paint brushes. At the heart of Sarah's paintings (and they have so much heart), is the way she captures a place, a moment, or the spirit of a person or animal, almost bottling something of their essence with each brush stroke. Sarah's career highlights to date include her painting of Liberty London for their luxury advent calendar; her whale paintings for the Natural History Museums' 'Beneath the Surface' exhibition; and her wonderful dog paintings for Angus Hyland's The Book of Dog. In fact, our four-legged friends are a constant source of inspiration in her work: her illustrations also feature in poetry anthologies The Book of Dog Poems and The Book of Cat Poems.Ana Sampson is the author of many bestselling anthologies including I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud and Other Poems You Half-Remember from School, Tyger Tyger Burning Bright: Much Loved Poems you Half-Remember, Poems to Learn by Heart, Green and Pleasant Land: Best-Loved Poems of the British Countryside and Best-Loved Poems: A Treasury of Verse.
Ana grew up in Kent and studied English Literature at the University of Sheffield. After achieving both a BA and an MA, she began a career in publishing PR and has appeared multiple times on radio and television discussing books and poetry. Ana lives in Surrey with her husband, two daughters and two demanding cats.
