Born in Berkshire Posy Simmonds studied French at the Sorbonne before returning to England to attend art school. In the early seventies Posy produced a daily cartoon in The Sun but she is best known for her regular cartoon series in The Guardian during the eighties. In 1987, she embarked on a new career in children's picture books and has produced several best-selling titles including Fred, Lulu and the Flying Babies and F-Freezing ABC. In 2002, Posy received an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to the newspaper industry.
The delightful tale of a beastly baker, a hard-working cat and a rabble of rude and frisky mice . . .
