He grew up in the Scottish Highlands and lives in North London, where he works in publishing.

"Not only does this book help children learn their alphabet and a selection of words, it also introduces them to the unique cultural identity of one of the world's best known cities."
"A perfect souvenir or a great basis for a classroom display or topic theme."
Vibrant celebration of England's capital city.
This unusual alphabet picture book really caught my eye. Celebrating London's unique, diverse culture with entries like "B for Brick Lane", it's got a contemporary feel and lots of gift book potential.
