Su questo libro

L'autore:

Peter Taylor was born in Hitchin, in Hertfordshire, England.When he was old enough to crawl he was introduced to the wonderful world of gardens, and spent many happy hours eating dirt and wriggly things. Soon he graduated to playing with dirt and every living thing he could find, making up stories and living in his own imaginary world.Exploring the countryside and wild places, designing gardens, painting and photographing plants and animals, illuminating manuscripts, and writing books and stories have all become lifelong passions.After training as an ecologist and educator, in former lives Peter worked as a natural history curator in a museum, nature reserve warden and high-school science and art teacher. In 1979 he exchanged jobs with an Australian teacher for a year, emigrated there in 1982, and now lives in Brisbane with his wife, Heather, and children Jeremy and Emily.Peter left his teaching post in 1987 to write 'The Australian Manual of Calligraphy' for Allen and Unwin and 'A Manual of Calligraphy' for Unwin Hyman. At the same time he started his own book-arts business, Peter Taylor's Calligraphics, specializing in calligraphy, illumination, papermaking, creative card and artist's book construction, and in teaching the skills involved. One of his handmade and written books was presented to Her Majesty the Queen as part of her gift from World Expo.When making up stories for his children, when they were young, Peter realized that in all jobs he has always loved writing, so in 1999 he studied for a Diploma in Professional Children's Writing. After further developing his craft under the mentorship of Marg McAlister, he now spends most of his working life writing, but still plays with dirt, plants and bugs - landscaping gardens and escaping whenever he can to enjoy and photograph the great outdoors.He also loves visiting schools, public speaking and teaching workshops.Peter has several other stories completed for young children, and many books in progress - including some for adults. More about these, together with writing and illustration tips and fun stuff, can be found at his web-site www.writing-for-children.com.
