Peter Clover keeps a notebook with him all the time, so that whenever an idea hits him he can write it down or draw a picture of it. He lived in Exmoor, England for a time, where he saw a variety of horses. This led him to write and illustrate a highly popular series about an adventurous pony named Sheltie. Clover now lives on the southwestern coast of England, and when he's not busy writing or illustrating he likes to stay in shape. He claims he can still do a back flip while he tosses a pancake in the air.
