About the Author

Christopher Lloyd graduated with a first-class degree in history from Cambridge University. He began his career as a journalist with The Sunday Times newspaper, before setting out to write books. After his adult world history book, What on Earth Happened?, sold 500,000 copies around the world, Chris turned his attention to children’s books. He is the author of the bestselling children’s non-fiction book Absolutely Everything!

Mark Ruffle is an illustrator and graphic designer living in the UK. Since he was young, Mark has drawn imaginary worlds, fantastic animals and marvellous humans. He studied graphic design at university and worked as an art editor for Oxford University Press before going freelance. When he’s not doodling, he enjoys walking his dogs and cycling in the Cotswolds, where he lives with his wife and two daughters.
