Helen Hughes has loved reading and writing for as long as she can remember. Now as a grownup, she feels so lucky to be able to immerse herself in the world of children's books and call it a job! As well as books, Helen loves tree-lined roads, sea views, and feeling the sun on her skin. She is based in London, England. After working in the design industry for some years, Isabel Aniel realized that illustration was the best way to recreate her own universe and to give form to the fantasy world in her mind. She's a tireless searcher of little treasures, such as vintage children's books or vinyl records. She finds joy in the beauty of simple things, and in the magic of the unexpected.
