Xavier Frías Conde / Laufer

XAVIER FRÍAS CONDE: My name is Xavier and I live in La Mancha, the land of Don Quixote. I think some of his qualities have rubbed off on me. My mother is from Asturias and that's why I love Asturias. I teach at UNED, a university based in Madrid. I have been writing stories all my life. I have published books in Spanish, Galician-Portuguese, Asturian, Italian and English. Also, I love blogs. I manage two: www.fabulandia.org and www.oreinodoscontos.com. I was a finalist for the 2012 Edebé Award and was one of the winners of Fray Martín Sarmiento in 2016. LAUFER: Laufer (Laura Fernández Arquisola). From a young age she drew more than she spoke, she was always to be found with a pencil and that's why when she got a little older she decided to study Fine Arts. She lives in Barcelona dedicated to what she loves most: illustrating in full colour interactive stories, games, magazines and textbooks.
