作者简介：
　　大卫·T. 文策尔（David T Wenzel）是一位儿童插画家，最著名的作品是为J. R. R. 托尔金的《哈比人历险记》绘制的连环画。大卫的作品是所有根据托尔金原著绘制的连环画中最成功的一部，受到全世界读者的喜爱，并于最近再版。新版本中收录了32页大卫再创作的内容。

大卫的其他作品包括：格洛赛特和邓普兰出版社（Grosset and Dunlap）的圣诞畅销书、罗伯特·L. 梅（Robert L. May）的《红鼻子驯鹿鲁道夫》（Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer），马科斯·卢卡多（Max Lucado）的《给伊万的帽子》（A Hat For Ivan）以及几本莫里斯·森达克（Maurice Sendak）的“小熊”系列。大卫现在和妻子嘉尼斯居住在康涅狄格州，他的工作室正对着一片草地和一条曲折的小溪。大卫的家庭可以称得上是一个艺术之家——他的儿子布伦达和克里斯托弗都是画家；他的哥哥格雷格身兼作家和插画家两职，作品有《侏罗纪巨龙》（Giant Dinosaurs of the Jurassic）；而他的妻子嘉尼斯本人不仅是一位出色的画家，还是当地一所中学的美术老师。
