Andrew Whitson is an award-winning artist, author, publisher, and Belfast native who likes to be called Mr Ando! He lives in an old house nestled on the side of a misty hill, at the edge of a magic wood, below an enchanted castle, in the shadow of a giant's nose. Andrew now makes pictures for books in the tower of an ancient church where he often works so late that he gets locked in. Therefore, he has forged a secret magic key that he keeps by his side and uses to escape from the church when it is dark and still, and no one is around. Andrew has illustrated over thirty books.
