Thank you to the following people who have helped turn the story of Olive of Groves and the Right Royal Romp into a real live book:
Chren Byng, my lovely publisher; Eddie (Kate Burnitt), my brilliant in-house editor; and Barbara Mobbs, my fun-loving agent. I am ever grateful that you have dared to frolic through this crazy world with Olive and her friends. Lesser women would have run away screaming at the first whiff of Tiny Tim’s smelly socks. Thank you for your fortitude and good humour.
Lucia Masciullo, for creating the charming illustrations that have, once again, brought my story to life.
My family, Sniff, Mouse and Bloss, for making me laugh, many times, every day. Laughter is where my best ideas begin.
