and lots of other lovely artists…

To make things even more confusing…

I also illustrate my own books, mainly my series about famous artists called

ANHOLT’S ARTISTS, which is very special to me. Buy SIGNED copies here

Admit it, you're totally confused…

Anyway, the main thing is to go and read all of them IMMEDIATELY!

Where do you get the ideas for your Seriously Silly Stories?

Well, first of all you have to be a bit silly yourself, (you can practice that on your own), then take a large net and go hunting for a traditional fairy story. When you see a good one, grab it, tie it up, drag it home, turn it upside down by its ankles, jump up and down on it and then stick it all back together again - it sounds cruel, but stories really don't mind being treated like that. I get some of the corny jokes from my own children - sometimes they try to make me pay for them! I mix the jokes with a few daft rhymes and when I have finished, Arthur Robins does his brilliant pictures and we sell the whole lot to our publisher for A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY... it's as easy as that!
