Jamie has been growing his amazing collection of much-loved traditional tales and fairy tales since he was small. Now that he is a grown up, and writes tales of his own, he is still influenced by the many illustrated books that transported him when he was very young. Jamie lives in a magical, quiet corner of the English countryside with his energetic dogs and inquisitive cats.
