Auriol Bishop is a storyteller from London whose favourite stories are about nature. Her father once gave Father Christmas a ride into town in his pony and cart, so perhaps it's no surprise that she grew up to write books about Christmas! As well as DK's beautiful An Anthology of Christmas, she is the author of Christmas is Coming: A Treasury of Simple Ways to Celebrate Festive Days. And look out for her winter storybook The Bear Who Loved the Moon, also published by DK, with irresistible illustrations by Alice Courtley.
