Richard Dellow is a poet and part-time stand-up comedian, with a very childlike imagination. He has written over 10 unique children’s stories and he regularly performs stand-up comedy in clubs all over London.His writing influences are Roald Dahl, Lewis Carroll, Roger Hargreaves, Spike Milligan, Julia Donaldson and his mum (who also writes poetry). He became interested in writing children’s books after becoming a father and improvising ideas and rhymes whilst playing with his children. Because of this, he self-published his first book, The Turtle in My Tea, and Cheese on the Trapeze.He would like to think that his readers can use his books to spark their own imagination and enjoy them for years to come (maybe even read them to their own children). His goal is to become a best-selling children’s book author whose work is loved and adored by millions.
