Make and Meet: Dinosaurs and Pre-Historic Animals »

Ruth Wickings has been designing books for 20 years. She started playing with pop-ups while at art college in York when she saw Jan Pienkowski's haunted house pop-up book. She has concentrated on them ever since. Ruth has worked as a freelance designer for publishers and novelty book packagers. She loves working with books, as they give people enormous pleasure, as well as their ability to inspire and educate children. When she is designing books, she tries to imagine the reaction of a child reading and learning from it. Ruth lives in Devon, with her two children and a menagerie of pets.
