Jon Blake (born 1954) is the author of over forty works for children and teenagers, including the picture book "You're A Hero, Daley B" (ill. Axel Scheffler, worldwide sales of over 100,000) and "Little Stupendo" (shortlisted for the Children's Book Award).

In 1995 Jon's TV play 'Life' was shortlisted for a Writers Guild Award, while in 2002 he won a BBC Talent award for his adult radio sitcom "Degrees R Us" (series broadcast on BBC Radio Wales).

Jon is particularly noted for original and anarchic humour, typified by "Stinky Finger's House of Fun" and the subsequent "House of Fun" series.

Born in Mortimer, Berkshire and brought up in Southampton, Jon currently lives in Adamsdown, Cardiff.
