Martyn Evans was born in 1983 and lives in the village of Llanharan in South Wales. He's a loving husband to a very patient wife, a caffeine-fuelled dad to two book-loving children and the (apparent) master of a mischievous Borador dog called Woody. Martyn loves nothing more than spending an afternoon creating stories with his children, using their toys, the family's recent adventures and his passion for the environment as inspiration. Harold the Bear: Goes to the Beach is Martyn's first children's book.
