About the Author

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) was a Scottish writer of both fiction and nonfiction who had poor health for much of his life. He achieved great literary success in his own lifetime with the publications of the children’s adventure novels Treasure Island and Kidnapped and the horror novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Anne Rooney is a children's author who has written around 150 books, both fiction and non-fiction. She writes at her home in Cambridge, and also in cafes and libraries in London, Cambridge, and Oxford.

Tom McGrath is an illustrator and designer based in the North West of England. His attention to detail, alongside his dramatic use of colours and contrast, creates these fantastic scenes of fantasy and surrealism.
