The author of the book, Jean Adamson,
stated in an interview with the Guardian newspaper that she and her husband (as
book illustrators) were trained at Goldsmiths College. In the meantime, they
accidentally went to a bookstore in New Castle in England and realized that
children's books are not really up-to-date and do not match the mood of the
world of those years, and are related to the years after the war. After some
time, they decide to give up their work and write and illustrate children's
books with their own taste and style. He also stated in another interview:
"I said to myself, why not write books for children that correspond to
their real world and are about the issues that children deal with daily at home
and in the family?!"
