Philippe Lescarret was born in 1971 in Pau. After
studying physics, he did his national service as an auxiliary
policeman, and was then confronted with violent death and the smell of
blood. Teaching then leads him to the Parisian suburbs. But the land of rugby and goshawk is missing. He returns to settle in the Southwest. He currently lives and works in Béarn, not far from the mountains, the ocean and the Landes forest.
After a career in
education, Simone Gelin is dedicated to writing novels whose privileged
setting is the Aquitaine region: Bordeaux, the Arcachon basin, where she
lives and draws her inspiration. Under the paving stones, the jungle is his fifth novel. She has already received many awards. New
award at the Hossegor Book Fair in 2012, New Award at the Paris Polar
Festival in 2016. Augiéras Award at the Book Fair of the Grand
Périgueux, Jury Prize at the Salon of Saint-Estèphe.
In his free time, Faiz loves writing funny children's books, especially frog-themed ones (frog-friendly fiction).
These include My Alien Penfriend, Golbo the Spider's Amazing Vacuum Cleaner Adventure, The Frog Who Loved Mathematics, The Frog in the Skyscraper, The Frog Who Was Blue and The Toad Who Loved Tea.
His books have won awards in the US and UK and have been translated into French, German, Spanish and Russian. He is involved in various literacy projects with schools and is always happy to hear from anyone on ideas for educational collaborations.
