The Adventures of Mr Toad

Tom Moorhouse lives in Oxford, where he enjoys the refreshing and perpetual rain. He is somewhere in his mid-thirties. This, he has discovered, means that small white hairs now grow out of his earlobes when he's not looking. He spends a lot of time climbing rocks. He used to play the trombone, but doesn't any more. He is, without the slightest fear of contradiction, the world's worst snowboarder. Ever.Tom also happens to be an ecologist, working at the University of Oxford's Department of Zoology.As a child he devoured - not literally - just about any fantasy book going.David Roberts was born in Liverpool. He always loved drawing from an early age and couldn't wait to escape high school and go to art college. There he developed a keen interest in pottery and fashion and went on to study a degree in fashion design at Manchester Metropolitan University. After university he worked as a milliner and began to get work as a fashion illustrator, but always felt his true calling was in children's book illustration.
