The author came to Australia from England as a two-year-old. He spent time on a farm with his grandparents and then moved to a house on a few acres near Melbourne, Victoria. He remembers waking up early one morning and watching a fox for a long time, and that was when his Foxylox adventures were formed. The author and his little sister had a gum tree with a low branch that they played on for hours and called the aeroplane tree. The author is very happy that these early childhood memories have now become poems that his daughter, niece, and friends just love.
