Andy Griffiths, illustrated by Terry Denton

Author

Andy Griffiths is an Australian children's author and comedian whose Treehouse series, illustrated by Terry Denton, has become one of the most successful and beloved children's book series in the world, selling tens of millions of copies. Born in Melbourne in 1961, Griffiths was a reluctant reader as a child — an experience that drives... his mission to create books that are so funny and so exciting that no child can resist them. He studied creative arts and worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. The Treehouse series — beginning with The 13-Storey Treehouse and growing with each instalment (The 26-Storey Treehouse, The 39-Storey Treehouse, up through The 104-Storey Treehouse and beyond) — follows Andy and Terry in their ever-expanding, wildly improbable treehouse, which features everything from a bowling alley to a shark tank to a marshmallow machine. The books are interactive, hilarious, and illustrated throughout by Terry Denton, whose drawings are integral to the experience. The series has sold over fifteen million copies worldwide. His earlier books — including the JUST! series and the Bad Book trilogy — established his reputation for anarchic, irreverent humour that children love and that occasionally makes parents nervous. Griffiths has won numerous Australian children's book awards and is one of the bestselling children's authors in the world. The audiobook editions of Griffiths's Treehouse books are enormous fun — the energy and humour translate brilliantly to audio. His books and audiobooks are essential for young readers who love comedy, adventure, and books that are impossible to put down. Read more Show less
