Giles
Greenfield
Title
Not much information can be found about Giles Greenfield – just that he was born in 1963 and holds an illustration degree from Kingston Polytechnic. As of 2008, he was living in Devon. There has been some debate over who the ghost is on the back cover, although most likely it is Nearly Headless Nick. As for the owl, I’ve always thought it was Pigwidgeon, but I haven’t found anything definitive. Greenfield was supposed to create the cover for the fifth book as well but unfortunately didn’t finish it due to his daughter, Sasha, being diagnosed with a terminal genetic illness.
