* '''BB: Who or what inspired you to become an author and illustrator?'''
LH: I was always a HUGE [[:Category:Enid Blyton|Enid Blyton]] fan (particularly ''The Enchanted Wood'' and [[The Island of Surprises (New Adventures of the Wishing Chair) by Enid Blyton|The Wishing Chair'']]) and was fascinated by the crazy world of [[:Category:Dr Seuss|Dr Seuss]]. Also I was a HUGER-ER [[:Category:Roald Dahl|Roald Dahl]] fan (who isn't?!)
I love their vivid sense of imagination and the inventiveness of the stories. And of course, the wicked anarchic sense of humour of Dahl was just incredible.
