A little bit about me…
Adam Stower is an award-winning illustrator and author who has been drawing pictures and making up stories for as long as he can remember. Adam was born in England but grew up in Switzerland and Germany. After nine years at an ancient boarding school in Norfolk Adam trained at the Norwich School of Art earning a first class Honours Degree in Illustration. He moved south to continue his studies at Brighton University and achieved a Masters degree in Narrative Illustration and Editorial Design. Adam fell in love with the city and lives there still, with his wife and daughter and a cat called Murray. Adam has been working as an illustrator for over 25 years and began writing his own books in 2004. His books have achieved acclaim and awards at home and abroad.
