A Kingdom

Content : The Kingdom is a magical land where fairy tale monsters eat cherries and make vocals. Alas, an intruder has settled in the dungeon, an abominable being with a pestilential smell. But Her Majesty the Queen is determined to protect her Kingdom..

Olivier Pog came to writing through songwriting and after applied Arts studies. He writes children’s picture books, but is interested also in other media. He draws his inspiration from children themselves – for whom he organizes events in libraries – little things from life, comics, cinema… He lives and works in Brittany. With Des Ronds dans l’O, he published The Tokela Fox, illustrated by Marianne Alexander and nominated for the Incorruptibles awards in 2019.

Stéphanie Léon was born in 1975 in an old dusty trunk in an attic. The imaginary of this remarkable illustrator was nourished by shadows and old-fashioned things. All the old rags and ghosts in flowery sheets reappear today in her drawings and come haunt postcards, children's books and novel covers for the readers' delight.
