About the Author

Poppy David is a writer based in London. After a childhood spent in deep dark West Country, she graduated from Oxford Brookes in 2011 and from The Courtauld Institute of Art in 2012, with a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Art History. This led her initially to Christie's auction house, and then to research for arts publisher Thames & Hudson. She is currently working on her debut middle-grade novel.

Jessica Roux is a Nashville-based illustrator and plant and animal enthusiast. She loves exploring in her own backyard and being surrounded by an abundance of nature. Using subdued colours and rhythmic shapes, she renders flora, fauna, food and many other things with intricate detail reminiscent of old world beauty. Her first book with Frances Lincoln is A Natural History of Fairies (September 2020).
