Following a career in advertising Geoff Waterhouse was a freelance illustrator and cartoonist. His work has appeared in many leading magazines such as Punch, The Oldie, Private Eye and Readers Digest to name but a few. He has also written amusing articles for several magazines on a variety of subjects with accompanying illustrations. His outside interests including cycling, kayaking and he has sailed sand yachts at international events. Geoff wrote and illustrated a number of little stories for his children and these were filed away and then resurrected for his grandchildren. His daughter, Rebecca, suggested that these should be dusted off and published for other children to enjoy. This was made quite easy for Geoff as he now has a computer which makes dusting off easy by the click of a mouse and the new found magic of the iworld.
