Daniel Postgate

Born in Whitstable in 1964, Daniel is the son of the film-maker and author, Oliver Postgate. After school he worked as a chef in local restaurants and as an apprentice box-painter.

In 1987 he went to London and worked as a freelance cartoonist for the Radio Times and Sunday Times. In 1994, Daniel had his first book published, and this is now the basis of an animated children’s series made by the Oscar-winning Bob Godfrey Films.

Daniel is now a full-time children’s book author and illustrator. He lives in Whitstable with his girlfriend and son.
