    Steve Augarde

    I began writing childrens books when I was at art college, which means that I’ve spent over thirty years as a childrens author. Must be nearly time to grow up. About eighty titles published to date, I think. These include story books and pop-ups for younger readers, as well as my more recent novels for older children. Im also an illustrator and paper-engineer, and you can see examples of this type of work around the site.

    Sometimes I provide the paper engineering for pop-up books by other artists and childrens authors - Jan Pienkowski, for example, Emma Chichester-Clark and Damien Hirst.

    Finally Im a semi-pro musician, playing mostly jazz. I provided the music and artwork for two BBC childrens television series of Bump the elephant. Mind you, that was ages ago, and so its high time somebody sampled it for a dance track and made me a fortune.

    My first major work for older children was The Touchstone Trilogy, completed in January 2008, the three titles being The Various, Celandine and Winter Wood. The Various was an award winner in The Nestle Smarties Book Prize 2003. Both Celandine and Winter Wood have been nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
