About the Author

Jack Ashby is the manager of Cambridge University's Museum of Zoology and an honorary research fellow in the science department of University College London. He spends every summer working on Australian mammal conservation projects and has pursued animals, in the name of research, across every continent and terrain on earth.

Sara Boccaccini Meadows is a print designer and illustrator living in Brooklyn, NY. Originally from the rolling hills of the Peak District in England, she graduated from Leeds College of Art with a 1st class Honours in Textiles and Surface Pattern. Since arriving in the USA almost 10 years ago, she has been splitting her time between working as a textile designer, illustrator and artist. She takes inspiration from nature and the tiny details in everyday life to create unique and quirky print illustrations. Her materials include watercolour, gouache and ink pen. In her spare time, Sara enjoys cycling, hiking and exploring overgrown gardens. She documents a lot of her life and travels in little pocket sketchbooks that have become a valuable source of inspiration for her work.
