Sonia Holleyman

Sonia Holleyman is a British author and illustrator of several children's books.[1] She is known for writing and illustrating the first short stories on which the animated television series Mona the Vampire was based, and for creating this animated series. A 1993 article in Publishers Weekly described that "Holleyman's illustration style is not unrelated to Babette Cole's: if Holleyman's compositions are slightly less fluid, she shares Cole's penchant for gangly, wide-eyed eccentrics and vibrant colors, and her work, like Cole's, exudes an irresistibly rakish charm."[2]

Biography

In 1990, Holleyman began the idea of the Mona the Vampire universe in her children's book Mona the Vampire, which was preceded by Mona the Brilliant and then Mona the Champion. During the mid to late 1990s, Holleyman was joined by Hiawyn Oram in writing the next six books in the Mona the Vampire series. In 1999, Holleyman created the animated television series Mona the Vampire, which became even more successful than the books on which it was based.
