Professor Potts is a dashing investigator who loves nothing more than jet-setting around the world exploring scientific mysteries. He lives in a secret location with his glamorous wife. His butler has a PhD in nuclear science and his dog will only eat bones from the Jurassic period. (Professor Potts is the brainchild of Aidan Potts, cartoonist and illustrator, who also happens to live in a secret location with a glamourous wife - though the similarities end there. Aidan has worked as an illustrator for all the national daily newspapers and is currently working on the next Professor Potts book. ) Michael Coleman is a long-standing author on the non-fiction list. As well as clocking up eleven books in his own Fould Football series, he has written titles for The Knowledge, notably Flaming Olympics, and Top Ten.
