Delightful and heart-warming debut story from renowned illustrator of the Horrible History series.
A long time ago, there was a little girl whose best friend was a cave bear cub. He had been small and frightened when Nell found him. Now that he was not so small and not so frightened, the grown-ups were not so sure he was a suitable pet. So Nell and Cave Bear set off on a big adventure, searching for a way to stay together. . .
This heart-warming story is beautifully and simply told, with a delightfully gentle humour, and exquisitely illustrated.
The second book featuring Nell and the Cave Bear - Nell and the Cave Bear: The Journey Home is out now!
Martin Brown is the cartoonist illustrator of the hugely successful Horrible Histories series.
He trained to be an art teacher in his home town of Melbourne before working as a stage-hand in the television studios of the ABC. Then, following many Australian footsteps abroad, Martin ended up in London where his lifetime dream of becoming a cartoonist was realised.
After working on magazines and greetings cards, his drawing style and sense of humour found a home in children's books. He was eventually asked to team up with Terry Deary on a new project due to be called Horrible Histories. More than twenty-five years, sixty titles and twenty million copies sold later, their books have become a phenomenon, expanding into the award-winning BBC TV programme, exhibitions, games and stage shows.
More recently, Martin has illustrated Philip Pullman's New Cut Gang reissue and John McLay's Harry & Oats early reader titles. He has also written and illustrated his own fun non-fiction series for children, Lesser Spotted Animals.
Martin lives with his family and a shaggy grey lurcher called Flint in the gorgeous Dorset countryside.
