Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) was a British writer, best known for the classic children's book, 'The Wind in the Willows' (1908). His other works included 'The Reluctant Dragon' (1898), which was adapted into a Disney film in 1941.

Tiziana Longo was born in 1980 in Catania, Sicily. She is fascinated by the traditional illustrative techniques but prefers to work digitally: her and her tablet are inseparable. Tiziana also works as a digital colorist, graphic designer and hosts drawing and painting classes for children and adults.
