Allan has been delighting children of all ages for more than thirty years. Classic characters like Burglar Bill and The Jolly Postman have become firm favourites with a generation of children who are now reading them to their own offspring. Innovative, funny and moving, his work encompasses storybooks, picture books, easy readers, joke books and novels as well as poems.
Allan’s work has been recognised by many of the top awards in children’s books, including The Kate Greenaway Medal (twice), The Children’s Book Award (twice) and The Signal Poetry Award.
