About the Author

Jill Tomlinson never intended to be a writer. She trained as an opera singer, and then decided to have a family whilst her voice matured. But illness intervened, and she had to find another outlet for her energies. She started on a journalism course, and by the third lesson decided she wanted to write for children. So she did! Jill suffered from multiple sclerosis, but she loved to read her stories to the children of friends and often, in her wheelchair, to classes in local schools. She said that stories about young animals could go straight to the emotional needs of young children, bypassing all barriers of class or colour. Jill Tomlinson died, suddenly and unexpectedly, in hospital where she had gone for respite care whilst her husband was away from home. She was 45. But anyone who has read her books knows what she was like - bubbly and caring and irrepressible. Maureen Lipman is a British film, theatre and television actress, columnist and comedian. She played the lead role in the television series All at No 20 and took on a range of diverse characters when starring in the series About Face. In 2002, she played the titular character's mother in Roman Polanski's award-winning film The Pianist. In 2018, she starred with Martin Shaw in The Best Man at the Playhouse Theatre, as well as returning to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the first time in 50 years with a one-woman show of jokes and storytelling called Up For It.
