About the Author
Dara McAnulty (BEM) is a multi-award winning author and conservationist. He is the youngest ever winner of the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing, the British Zoological Society award for communicating zoology and the RSPB Medal for conservation. He is a prolific campaigner, fundraiser and advocate for the natural world. He divides his time between Cambridge University and the Mourne Mountains, where he lives with his family in County Down. Barry Falls grew up in rural Northern Ireland, where he spent a lot of time drawing pictures and writing stories to go with them. When he got to art college in Belfast, he discovered that he might be able to do such a thing for a living, and was very excited. Since then, he's been working as a commercial illustrator, and picking up multiple awards for the work he does for such clients as The New York Times, American Airlines, The Telegraph, Laurence King Publishing and many more besides. His work has appeared in magazines, books, exhibitions, on textiles and homeware, and in advertising campaigns around the world. His first book, It's Your World Now! was published in 2019.
