作者簡介
Peter Spier (born June 6, 1927 in Amsterdam, North Holland) is a Dutch-born American author and illustrator who has published more than thirty children's books.
Spier grew up in Broek in Waterland as the son of Jo Spier, a very popular Dutch artist and illustrator, and Tineke van Raalte. His father was Jewish, and, during the Second World War, Peter was one of nine prisoners of Villa Bouchina and was later in Theresienstadt. After the war he studied at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam and joined the Royal Netherlands Navy for four years. The entire Spier family emigrated to the United States in 1950. Peter started his career at advertisement agencies and only later focused on writing and illustrating children's books.
