Abie Longstaff (Author)
Abie Longstaff is the eldest of six children and grew up in
Australia, Hong Kong and France. She knows all about squabbling,
chaos and bossing younger sisters around. So she logically began
her career as a barrister. She started writing when her children
were born. Her favourite childhood books were Hating Alison Ashley,
A Little Princess, Maura's Angel and The Black Stallion and she
sneakily reads them again sometimes. Abie lives in Hove with her
family.
Lauren Beard (Illustrator)
Lauren Beard is an illustrator based in Manchester. As a child she
loved drawing and reading, and would write and illustrate short
stories for her two younger brothers. She has been fascinated by
animals, fairy tales and folklore since childhood, when she would
visit her Irish Grandma and was told to "watch out for the
fairies!" Her work is hand-drawn and coloured both digitally and by
hand. Lauren enjoys adding little details to her illustrations
appealing to children and adults alike. Lauren lives with her cat,
Sushi, who keeps her company when drawing.
Coral is a mermaid with a beautiful singing voice. But she longs to
swap her tail for legs so she can be with Prince Marino. When the
evil witch offers her the chance to do so, she jumps at it - but it
is a trick. Luckily, Kittie Lacey, the best hairdresser in the
land, hatches a plan to save the day. This is a fabulous fairy tale
with a twist.

clever twists in the illustrations give even adults something to
look out for. Lauren Beard's superb illustrations are full of
detail - take your time over this book and share it with your child
to get the very best out of it. A wonderful series
