About Christopher LloydPatrick Skipworth

Bestselling author Christopher Lloyd began his career as a journalist with the Sunday Times newspaper. Then while camping with his family he had a critical realisation: even with a 1st class degree in history from Cambridge University and experience as a science writer there was so much about the world he didnt know. So he set out to write books that zoom out and tell the big stories opening readers eyes to how seemingly unrelated events fit together and showing them multiple perspectives on the world all in highly engaging prose and matched with lively illustration and photography. Now with several books in print including the bestselling What on Earth Happened? and Absolutely Everything! Chris divides his time between writing books and delivering lectures and workshops to schools literary festivals and a wide range of other venues around the world. He lives in Tonbridge Kent UK with his wife and two adorable terriers. Patrick Skipworth studied Classics and Linguistics in London and the Netherlands connecting the dots between ancient cultures their histories and their languages. Today Patrick is a childrens book editor but likes to write his own stories when he can. Some of his favourite topics are prehistoric bugs super-intelligent robots and legends from far away places. Andy Forshaw graduated in graphic design and illustration from Londons Central Saint Martins college and has worked on numerous online and publishing projects. Since 2010 Andy has created more than 5000 illustrations for childrens books. When not illustrating Andy can be found exploring the countryside on his bike. He lives in London UK.
