Shaun Micallef is a comedian, writer, actor, producer,
author and former child. He is usually found on TV in shows such
as Thank God You’re Here, Talkin’ 'Bout Your
Generation and Mad as Hell. He has authored three
books for
adults: Smithereens, Preincarnate and The
President’s Desk. Tales from a Tall Forest is his
first book for children.
When Jonathan Bentley was eight years old, he
realised he wouldn’t be good enough to play football for Leeds
United – so he concentrated on drawing instead. He is now one of
Australia’s most treasured illustrators, and his award-winning
picture books – including A House of Her Own,
Pink and Where is Bear? – have been published all
over the world.
"Young audiences will appreciate the stories' clever playfulness,
and adults will catch the occasional sly wink aimed at them."
--Publishers Weekly
"Imagine every popular fairytale figure was summoned to an
emergency drill and some of them lost the plot and returned to the
wrong house. Then add lashings of rhubarb and the occasional real
historical figure, such as Gottfried von Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst,
and you have Tales from A Tall Forest." --Weekly Review
