Arthur McBain is an actor and writer from Liverpool. As an actor, he has worked on both stage and screen. He is best known for portraying Snowy Fleet in the critically acclaimed ABC television series Friday On My Mind. He began his acting career in the Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre of Scotland's international touring play Dunsinane. In The Dead Of The Night is his debut work for children. After 10 years working in graphic design, Tom Knight eventually realised that true happiness lies in drawing pictures in a shed at the bottom of the garden for a living. Brought up on a healthy diet of Tintin, The Beano and good sea air, Tom has illustrated over 30 books for children, and has now turned his hand to writing his own. He finds most of his inspiration from the natural world, particularly the coast, which he finds in abundance on Mersea Island where he lives with his family.
