About the authors

Will Mabbitt

Will Mabbitt likes to write. He writes on the train, in the corner of cafés, and sometimes, when his laptop runs out of power, he writes in his head. Will has a background in children's media, producing digital content for Disney, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. He lives with his family, cats and a woodlouse infestation in Lewes on the south coast of England.

Praise for This Is Not A Fairy Tale

Refreshingly original, not to say subversive [. . . ] all hilariously picture by Fred Blunt in cartoon mode.

Nicholas Tucker, The Independent

the 'Perfect' Bedtime story for young Kidz [. . . ] 19,000,014 stars out of 5!

Bex, KidzCooLit

Bedtime stories go bonkers in this inventive, subversive version of a traditionally restful night time tale. Funny illustrations accompany the witty text, packed with humour and adventure, to amuse children and parents alike.

N/A, Booktrust

Subversive, witty and gently challenging all sorts of assumptions about the way things "have" to be, This Is Not A Bedtime Story [. . .] is the real deal when it comes to everything I want from a great bedtime read with the kids.

Zoe Toft, Playing By The Book
