Christine Ede was born in Sutton and grew up in a small village near to Epsom in Surrey as the youngest of three children.
Her talent for art developed at an early stage and her eye for detail is one of the delights of the beautiful illustrations contained in the Windy the Worm stories.
Chris lives in Sutton with her two sons and balances a job as a fulltime Mum with a varied career illustrating and painting.
