Jill Newton

Jill Newton started drawing as soon as she could hold a pencil, and when she wasn't scribbling, she could often be found on the ground after falling off a bike or pony! She studied illustration at Cambridge School of Art, where she focused on her passion for animals and children's books. Jill has illustrated over 150 works, including 20 of her own stories. Her love of horses and other creatures endures to this day, as does her interest in history and its impact on our world. Jill lives in Somerset, England, with her husband Cosmo and their dog Garry.
