Author W.J. Burkland is a first time author. He is a recognized expert and ardent practitioner of all bodily functions celebrated in this venerable collection. Each rhyme is a thinly disguised fictional account of real-life events that have shaped the author's life. Illustrator Duncan Beedie is a freelance illustrator who lives in Bristol, UK and has infinitely more credibility than the author, having performed real work for real clients like BBC Three, CBBC, and Aardman Animations.
