Jonny Duddle
Jonny Duddle overheard the story of his first book, The Pirate Cruncher, while sailing on a square-rigger. Since then he has written even stranger tales including The Pirates of Scurvy Sands, The Pirates Next Door, Gigantosaurus and The King of Space. The Pirates Next Door won the Waterstones Prize in 2012 and was shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. In 2020 the TV adaptation of Jonny’s Gigantosaurus was screened around the world on Disney Plus and Netflix. Now in danger of becoming a landlubber, Jonny lives in Wales with his wife, Jane, and their daughters, Daisy and Rosie.
