Peter Bailey

Peter Bailey has been illustrating books for over forty years and has worked with many of today’s best-known authors, including Philip Pullman, Dick King-Smith and Allan Ahlberg. Of working on Homecoming, he says, “I’ve really enjoyed illustrating this story. It’s about time passing and the changes that one sees from childhood to adulthood – and about meeting early on someone who influences you for the rest of your life.” Peter lives near Liverpool with his wife, Sian, who is also an illustrator.
