Geoff Sawers Author & Illustrator

Born a mile from St George's Hill, Geoff Sawers moved to Bristol, Guildford, Reading, Taunton, Swansea and then back to Reading. If you draw it on a map it looks like either a stealth bomber or a butterfly, but neither was intentional. He has been stung by hornets, kicked by horses and bitten by a mole cricket in pursuit of his art; can identify military aircraft in flight but has never driven a car; loves Black Metal but his favourite sound is silence. He is an artist and poet and lives with his wife Dani Hall and their three small children.
