Anna Fienberg is a storyteller with a special talent for fantasy and things magical. She is the author of many popular and award-winning books for children of all ages.
Kim Gamble has illustrated over 70 books, and together with Anna created the Tashi series, Joseph, Minton Goes!, including the story of The Hottest Boy Who Ever Lived, and The Magnificent Nose and other marvels. Kim has also illustrated for School Magazine, a major source of reading pleasure for children in NSW for over 100 years.
Stephen Axelsen is an author and illustrator of many well-loved books for children, and like Kim, an artist for School Magazine. He and Kim were lifelong friends, sharing an outrageous sense of humour, a passion for art, and this last, monstrously marvellous book, which they illustrated together.
