Laurence Anholt has written over seventy books for children of all ages, many in collaboration with his wife, Catherine, including the well-loved 'Chimp and Zee' stories. They are both highly regarded in the UK and abroad as a successful author/illustrator team, and have had their books translated into many different languages. They met as undergraduates at Falmouth School of Art, and went on to achieve Master's Degrees from the Royal Academy of Art and the Royal College respectively. Their books are based firmly within their own family's experiences, and many of Catherine's illustrations depict scenes which families will recognise. Catherine and Laurence Anholt live in Lyme Regis.
