About the Author

Stella Blackstone has written many best-selling titles for Barefoot Books, including the popular Bear and Cleo series and An Island In the Sun (2002). Her stories have been translated into a number of languages. Stella lives in Somerset with her three children, two dogs and two cats. Christopher Corr was born in London and studied at The Royal College of Art. His round-the-world travels have provided much inspiration for his work, and his first trip to India in 1986 resulted in a one person show entitled 'Wel-come To India' which was followed by a book and a short BBC TV film of the same name. Recently The Royal Mail sent Christopher to Bosnia to paint the Peace-Keeping troops for a commemorative stamp in the Millennium Stamps Project. My Granny Went to Market is his first title for Barefoot Books.
