About

A City.
A Fox.
A Story.

Igor Rebenok is a London-based financial professional, freelance writer and contemporary artist. By day he works in the City of London as a senior banking and compliance expert. By evenings and weekends, he writes stories and creates art.

His debut children's picture book, Lizzie and Her White-Tipped Tail: A London Story, was born from a love of London — its grandeur, its parks, its light on white stucco walls. It is a story about resourcefulness, determination, and finding beauty where others see none.

"The most important stories are told not in boardrooms, but in the rose garden of Hyde Park at dusk."

Alongside his writing, Igor is an active contemporary artist whose work has been exhibited and donated to charitable causes across London. He believes that creativity and professional life are not opposites — they make each other sharper.

Lizzie and Her
White-Tipped Tail

Lizzie is a young fox who is utterly in love with London, but life in the city is tough. Her den is dark, cold and nothing to be proud of. As she explores Hyde Park, she meets Archie the shiny-eyed squirrel, Cecil the parakeet, and a wise old Owl — all living in bright, beautiful homes high above her. Determined and resourceful, Lizzie finds a way to transform her world.
