Author

Ruth Rahlff, born in Lüneburg, tried herself as a sales talent in her uncle’s bookshop at an early age. Later on, she apprenticed in publishing, worked in a very big and a very small publishing house as an editor, and has been working as a freelance author since 2004. When she’s not reading, travelling, eating ice cream, or romping about with her dog, she makes up stories for children and young adults.


Illustrator

Mila Marquis started creating fantastical dream worlds with pen and paper when she was a little girl and couldn’t think of a more perfect pastime than thus escaping reality day by day. She studied fashion design at the HAW and has been committing her funny, beautiful and dreamy ideas to paper for many years. She lives with her two sons, a white tousled monster, two bold guinea pigs and a wise terrapin in Hamburg.
