El Ashfield's pastimes as a child included tree climbing, scribbling, dropping wood off bridges and fishing it out again, and writing long speeches about her hatred for sprouts. Her newest illustrated book, TRUCILLA'S WEDDING CAKE is the story of a very naughty elder sister getting her comeuppance (or even comeuppances). Her previous titles are: RALPH IS (NOT) A SUPERHERO (finalist Gateshead Children's Book Award; Highly Commended, Royal Mail Award, 2010), RALPH IS (NOT) A VAMPIRE (finalist People's Book Prize, 2011), and RALPH IS (NOT) A SPY (nominee for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and finalist for People's Book Prize, 2012).
