During this time, he did various jobs, from delivering papers to washing-up. He has won the Nottingham Children’s Book Award and been commended for the Sheffield. He loves his work and likes to write and draw the kind of books that he would have liked to have on his shelf as a boy. He is married with two children and lives in Yorkshire.

Chris Mould spends his working day in one of the prestigious art studios at Dean Clough Mills in Halifax. His studio is clearly marked with a skull and crossboned warning as to what might lie within.

Chris is not confined to book illustration. He has worked for the RSC, the BBC, the FT and many other famous initials, aswell as film development work for Aardman Animations which included character and environment development work on the film Flushed Away.

When away from his studio, Chris spends most of his time with his wife Sue and his two daughters Emily and Charlotte.

Reviews

[Myrthe Roosendaal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Een verhalenbundel met 10 griezelige verhalen erin. Ik vond sommige verhalen leuk om te lezen, maar veel verhalen liepen uiteindelijk slecht af, wat voor mij een beetje tegenviel.
Verder vond ik de verhalen wel goed geschreven.

A collection of ghost stories.

A mixed bag - none of them were really scary, but they were entertaining enough.

Reading time around one hour.

Works well for a school library — where I shall place it!
