Children’s book The Gruffalo was written by author and playwright Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The hugely popular book tells the story of a mouse walking through the woods and the animals that he encounters on the way. The book was first published in 1999 and has since sold over 10.5 million copies and also won several awards for its greatness; most notable was the 2009 ‘Best Bedtime Story’, and in 2010 the book came first in a list of favourite children’s books. In 2009 the book was adapted into a short 30 minute film and then into a theatre show which has been taken to Broadway and the West End.
