Malachy Doyle worked in advertising and as a teacher for children with special needs before writing children's books. He is the bestselling and award-winning author of many titles, from picture books to teen fiction. Christopher Corr was born in London and studied at the Royal College of Art. He has worked on numerous commissions including a Royal Mail millennium stamp. His round-the-world travels provide the inspiration for his work.
There are plenty of interesting facts here but told in such a way that children will pick them up as part of an interesting story that is as relevant today as it always has been. -- Rudolph Loewenstein * The School Librarian *
