Adam Stower is an award-winning author and illustrator of children's books. Adam was born in England, grew up in Switzerland and has loved drawing ever since he was old enough to hold a crayon. He went to art school in Norwich, and Brighton too, where he still lives beside the sea with his wife and a cat called Murray.

Reviews

PRAISE FOR THE WORLD'S WORST SERIES: "This really is Walliams at his most indulgently gross and silly - the perfect combination for thousands of his loyal fans" - Daily Mail "Laugh-out-loud funny and...downright disgusting" - Daily Express "Often described as the modern-day Roald Dahl, Walliams is a big author with big ideas and plenty of illustrations, all combining to make for real page-turners, even for kids who would normally look at you as if you're mad to suggest reading for pleasure" - The Independent
