Audrey Alwett Author

Christophe Arleston began his career as a journalist, then became a playwright for France Inter radio, before turning to graphic novel writing in the early 1990s. He then created series in a variety of styles, from humorous crime stories to medieval fantasy adventures. In 1994, he achieved widespread success with Lanfeust de Troy , a series illustrated by Didier Tarquin, which blends adventure, fantasy, and humor. Several best-selling series followed, and in 2019, he co-founded the publishing house Drakoo. There, he co-wrote the script for Le Grimoire d'Elfie (illustrated by Mini Ludvin) with Audrey Alwett, which was an immediate success. Christophe Arleston has sold over 15 million books to date. When the biology faculty rejected her ambitious "unicorn rat creation" program, Mini steered her studies towards drawing. A compulsive reader raised on European and Japanese comics from a very young age, she completed a course in Animation Cinema at EMCA in Angoulême, then entered the wonderful world of animation in Parisian studios. With 10 years of experience in animated film, she decided in 2015 to return to her first loves: children's illustration and comics. Since then, she has illustrated several series of children's novels and works regularly for children's magazines, always ready to bring to life worlds full of fantasy and humor.
