Biographical note
Alex Milway has always enjoyed making up stories and, after leaving art college, he discovered that he liked to write and illustrate them as well. His interest in furry creatures first reared its head in the Mousehunter trilogy, where weird and wonderful mice ran riot all over the world. In the Mythical 9th Division, the fur quota got even bigger as he had to master the art of drawing a troop of yetis whose main purpose was to save the world. Pigsticks and Harold features a furry hamster and a decidedly un-furry pig. Alex is now a full-time author-illustrator and works from his home in London, SE20.
