I always had my head in a book. I wanted to\n      write books that were unputdownable for children, that were full\n      of adventure and crazy big characters and made them laugh.\"\n\n\n\n      Anita Mangan is a celebrated graphic designer\n      and illustrator who has designed over 60 books including for Leon\n      Restaurants, Gizzi Erskine and Fearne Cotton.
