About the author

John Patience was born in Lancashire, England, in 1949 and trained in typography and book design at the Harris College in Preston, Lancashire. After college, he worked briefly as a designer for a couple of publishers in London, England but he really wanted to have his own children's books published. He did various jobs to earn a living, whilst writing and developing his skills as an illustrator.

John's first self-authored illustrated children's book was published in 1980 - 'The Seasons in Fern Hollow'. Over the next few years this grew into four further series called 'Tales from Fern Hollow', eventually totalling 17 titles.

Since then John has had more than 100 titles published in many countries around the world and translated into many languages. He has written, designed and illustrated both "flat" books and pop-up books.

He lives with his wife in rural France and as well as his writing and illustrating he enjoys producing digital sculptures.

These books are the earliest memory I have of reading when I was a child. I still have all of the ones from when I was young, and my children LOVE them also!

Gue dan anak-anak baca yang versi terjemahan berjudul "Rumah Baru Pak Rusty". Mereka suka banget cerita ini, terutama waktu anak-anak Pak Rusty kecebur ke sungai. :D
