This is the website of Thomas Taylor – author, illustrator, and creator of children’s books

Here you can find out about my award-winning and best-selling (I’m obliged to say these things) Eerie-on-Sea Mysteries, about my illustration work (especially for a book called Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone), and also get in touch with questions, or enquiries about school visits and events.

If Erwin, the bookshop cat of Eerie-on-Sea, told you “a book is like a mirror – we always see ourselves inside,” and your reaction was “hey, cats can’t talk!”, then this website probably isn’t for you. To everybody else I say “Welcome!”
