Her favourite things include reading, theatre, music, travel, beach walks, and, most of all, her children and grandchildren. She lives in Santa Barbara, California with her husband. Cee Biscoe studied Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art, gaining an MA in 2007. She lives in Suffolk with her husband and a small garden full of wildlife, many of which creep and crawl their way into her illustrations.
