Stephen May
Stephen May
Stephen May was born and grew up in Bletchley, Bucks, UK - celebrated as the location of the top-secret wartime codebreaking centre, Bletchley Park. He is the author and illustrator of three picture books: 'Planet of the Monsters', 'Planet of the Monsters' and 'The Magic Birthday Cake'. His writing career grew initially out of his work as a children's storyteller for the library service of the multi-ethnic London borough of Lambeth. His first two books made a groundbreaking contribution to children's picture book literature in port.aying children of different ethnicities playing shared roles in an adventure context. They were also distinguished by their strident use of colour and childlike illustration style. Currently he lives in London where he teaches English language and is working on both a junior novel and a thriller for adults. (The books listed below are, other than those already mentioned, the works of different Stephen Mays!)
