"The illustrations are reminiscent of the '50s whilst the end papers could be done by the great Edward Bawden. The end of the book, by the way, is enormously satisfactory in the best tradition of the cautionary tale. Pure delight." Carousel on Whatever (ISBN: 1-4063-0133-7)"

William Bee was born in London, but now lives in the English countryside. He is the author of the modern cautionary picture book, Whatever. As well as writing children's books, he races a vintage sports car, is an international skier, and when at home, enjoys tending his lawns and meadow.
