About the Author
Tony Bradman was born in 1954 (not during the Jurassic era as his kids have been known to claim!). He went to Malcolm Primary School for Boys, where he played a lot of sport, and Cambridge University… where he did very little at all! He started to write his own books for children in 1985 and is probably best known for the popular Dilly the Dinosaur stories. He has sold more than 2 million books worldwide! Tony currently lives in South London with his long-suffering wife Sally. He has three large, expensive children who love making fun of him.
Martin Chatterton has illustrated over eighty children’s books, and written over twenty. He has illustrated the whole Mummies series. He now lives in Australia and spends a lot of time surfing!
