Illustrated Arabian Nights by Anna Milbourne Hardcover Book

Growing up in north-west England and Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals and stories about inventive children, and drew on every available surface. She did an Art Foundation Course for a year before studying German Literature and Philosophy at Oxford University. Coming to London after uni, she got her dream job at Usborne Publishing writing books for children. Since 1998, she has written over a hundred books about all kinds of things, from the wonders of the natural world to stories of curious penguins and inventive children. Some have won awards, many have delighted children all around the world, and she is as thrilled with her job now as ever.
