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 didn’t 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 children’s
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 London’s Central Saint Martins college, and has worked on

for children’s books. When not illustrating, Andy can be found
exploring the countryside on his bike.
