Vicky Cowie has always loved writing rhyming stories. She lives in East Yorkshire with her husband and four children. She loves horses and the English countryside and was inspired by the classic stories that she loved while growing up.

"Vicky Cowie's sweet fairytale Tales from Muggleswick Wood ventures into a magical world of gnomes, pixies, and stink-resistant moles. The watercolor and ink illustrations are cheery and quiet, evoking wonder over nature and the magic of make-believe. With unexpected humor, Tales from Muggleswick Wood is an enchanting collection of fairy stories for bedtime and beyond." --Foreword Reviews, starred review

"Cowie pens a collection of fanciful stories around a visiting grandmother who shares bedtime tales with each of her grandchildren . . . Throughout, ink and wash vignettes by Mackesy (The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse) blend E.H. Shepard-style shapes with Quentin Blake-like energy. Nostalgia-tinged bedtime treats, which take myriad beats from classic British children's works." -- Publishers Weekly
