Born in 1966, Andy Gibbons is married and has a daughter and a son. He's been an avid fan of extreme sports and of philosophy; travelling from London to New York and Amsterdam to Mumbai to learn how people live, love and laugh. He most loves the mountains and rivers... wherever they are. The idea of Oswald & Gobard grew out of his own experiences and those of his friends from whom he learnt. Andy first told this story to his own children and then to a few others who liked it. He hopes that now children from all over the world can read and enjoy it too. Andy Gibbons is a pseudonym.
