"The Waddell/Firth magic shows no sign of losing its spellbinding magic." Books for Keeps"
Born in Belfast, Martin Waddell is widely regarded as one
of the greatest living children’s writers, and has over 220
published titles to his name. In 2024 he became the recipient of
the An Post Irish Book Awards’ Bob Hughes Lifetime Achievement

best known for Owl Babies, illustrated by Patrick Benson and Farmer
Duck, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury; as well as the 1989 Kurt
Maschler Award-winning The Park in the Dark and the Little Bear
