...Filippos Mandilaras has done a marvellous job of rendering the text without losing its freshness and distinctive style. The text is beautiful, accessible, lively and clever. As for the illustrations, what can we say? Words are superfluous. Axel Scheffler takes you on a journey; you feel as though you are there in the field yourself, seeing the scarecrows, smelling the pink flowers and drinking water from the lake...
– Katerina Andrikopoulou elniplex.comAxel Scheffler
Axel Scheffler was born in Hamburg, Germany. Although he was good at drawing, he had never imagined a career in illustration until he won a purple stuffed cow in a drawing competition.
In 1982, he moved to England to learn English and study illustration. He has illustrated many books, and in 1993 he began collaborating with the famous children’s author, Julia Dolantson.
Their book *The Gruffalo* became a global success and was adapted into a television cartoon in 2009.
His books have been translated into 42 languages. He lives in London and has a young daughter.
