Author description

Dan Taylor has always had a passion for illustration and, since graduating with an illustration degree, has been working for many years as a freelance artist on a variety of projects. Much of his inspiration comes from love of 1950s and 60s design and his heroes include Mary Blair, Alexander Girard and Charles and Ray Eames. Dan works in a number of different media, including traditional painting techniques combined with digital. He obsessively collects mid-20th century and Scandinavian furniture, drinks tea by the gallon and lives with a mischievous little dog called Bertie. Some of his other titles include Alice in Wonderland: First Sticker Activity Book, Snow White, Cinderella and Rapunzel, also in the First Stories series.
