She graduated from Anglia Ruskin University with a First Class Degree in Illustration in 2015 and now lives in Sheffield. It was a startlingly confident debut which she followed with an equally striking and feminist take on Rapunzel , with not a handsome prince in sight. The wolf is hungry, and Red Riding Hood looks tasty, so he hatches a dastardly plan, gobbles up Grandma and lies in wait. While studying a degree in illustration at the Cambridge School of Art, Bethan learned how to tell stories with pictures, and even penned her first children’s book ‘Little Red’ while at university. Seeing Bethan herself reading 'Little Red' to a group of enchanted, enthralled and enthused children was amazing in itself.

There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors.

The eldest in a family of ten children, Bethan understands well what appeals to a variety of age groups, and all her work exudes a natural dry wit and charm. Lovely book that is wonderfully illustrated and teaches a good moral re girls standing up for themselves. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally).
