John McLay is extremely well connected in the children's publishing world. He was Director of Bath Literary Festival for six years, and also works as an international scout, literary agent and reviewer. When Martin Brown was little he loved drawing and he loved animals, particularly lesser-known animals, so it was only a question of time before he ended up drawing them. Quite a lot of time . In the meantime, he grew up, moved from Melbourne to England, and illustrated the phenomenally successful Horrible Histories series. Now, at last, it's time for the animals.
