As well as being a number one bestselling writer for adults, Matt
Haig has won the Blue Peter Book Award, the Smarties Book Prize and
been shortlisted three times for the Carnegie Medal for his stories
for children and young adults. The idea for the A Boy Called
Christmas series came when his son asked what Father Christmas was
like as a boy.
Chris Mould went to art school at the age of sixteen. He has won
the Nottingham Children's Book Award and been commended by the
Sheffield Children's Book Award. He loves his work and likes to
write and draw the kind of books that he would have liked to have
had on his shelf as a boy. He is married with two children and
lives in Yorkshire.

sprinkle of Christmas magic
