About the Author
Enid Blyton, who died in 1968, is one of the most popular and prolific children's authors of all time. She wrote over seven hundred books, which have been translated into many languages. She also found time to write numerous songs, poems and plays, and ran magazines and clubs. The Island of Adventure was her first book for Macmillan, and the beginning of the bestselling eight book series.
Stuart Tresilian was a British artist and illustrator, best known for his illustrations of children's books. He was born in Bristol in 1891, but moved to London with his family where he went on to study at the Royal College of Art and later became an art class teacher. He was a brother in the Art Workers' Guild, and was an accomplished graphic artist and book illustrator. He is most famously known for illustrating Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book and Enid Blyton’s Adventure series and associated works. Stuart retired to Buckinghamshire, where he died in the summer of 1974.
