Welcome friends and settle in:
there's lots to do and see
as I tell you the story
of our oldest, wisest tree...

FREYA HARTAS is a UK based illustrator specialising in children's
books. She lives in the vibrant city of Bristol with her partner
and their ancient black cat Katsu and works from her cosy,
cluttered desk in a shared studio down the road. She graduated from

monsters, creating the most fantastical worlds for them to inhabit
and get lost in.
