M. P. Robertson was born in Parsons Green, London. He studied Graphic Design at Hounslow Borough College, where he discovered a love for illustrated books. He believes that more than merely decorating a book, illustration should be integral to the narrative. Among is books are The Egg, The Great Dragon Rescue and The Dragon Snatcher; Hieronymus Betts and his Unusual Pets, Big Brave Brian, The Sandcastle and Food Chain. 

As a local writer and illustrator, we have been fortunate to have M.P Robertson previous visit the school and undertake sessions with the children.
