The author: Charles van Sandwyk is a Canadian artist and author known for his whimsical illustrations and intricate, hand-crafted books. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1966, he moved to Vancouver, Canada at a young age. Influenced by early 20th-century illustrators, his work evokes a sense of nostalgia and enchantment, often featuring animals and fantastical subjects. His books and illustrations are widely collected, and he has notably contributed to editions for the Folio Society. He divides his time between British Columbia and a remote Fijian island, where the natural environment deeply informs his artistic vision.
