Olivier Dunrea je ocenený autor a ilustrátor, ktorého diela pre deti čerpajú z jeho záujmu o folklór, archeológiu a zvieratá. Mnoho jeho príbehov sa odohráva v jeho vlastnej mýtickej krajine Moel Eyris, kde skúma témy rodinného života, umenia a starodávnych legiend. Dunrea sám uvádza, že svoje knihy tvorí primárne pre seba, ale s potešením zisťuje, že si ich obľúbili aj deti. Jeho jedinečný štýl a hravý prístup k rozprávaniu z neho robia výnimočného tvorcu v oblasti detskej literatúry.
