Valerie writes fiction and non-fiction and especially enjoys narrative non-fiction, where lots of information is wrapped up in an exciting story. She has written over a hundred books, on all sorts of subjects, and she likes to bring a touch of humour to everything she does. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e?sa Gilland is a Swedish illustrator who loves all things retro, quirky imagery, and folk art themes.
