ABOUT HOLLY SWAIN
Holly Swain is a childrens book illustrator, living in Hove with her husband Matt and their two daughters. As a kid she always loved to draw, making up characters and their worlds. She used to have a huge roll of paper under her bed that she constantly drew on which gradually got smaller and smaller, by which time she was big enough to go to college. She studied Illustration at UWE Bristol and then did an MA in Brighton. She is the author of Colin's Castle and Colin's Grandma, both published by Harper Farshore.
