Bestselling author Christopher Lloyd began his career as
a journalist with the Sunday Times newspaper. Then, while camping
with his family, he had a critical realisation: even with a 1st
class degree in history from Cambridge University and experience as
a science writer, there was so much about the world he didn’t know.
So, he set out to write books that zoom out and tell the big
stories, opening readers’ eyes to how seemingly unrelated events
fit together and showing them multiple perspectives on the world,
all in highly engaging prose and matched with lively illustration
and photography. Now, with several books in print, including the
bestselling What on Earth Happened? and Absolutely Everything,
Chris divides his time between writing books and delivering
lectures and workshops to schools, literary festivals, and a wide
range of other venues around the world. He lives in Tonbridge,
Kent, UK, with his wife and two adorable terriers.
Andy Forshaw graduated in graphic design and illustration
from London’s Central Saint Martins college, and has worked on
numerous online and publishing projects. Since 2010, Andy has
created more than 5,000 illustrations for children’s books. When
not illustrating, Andy can be found exploring the countryside on
his bike.
The What on Earth? series of wallbooks have become known for
delivering the facts - on various subjects - in a fun, informative
and visually appealing way. These books deliver on many levels and
I couldn't be more impressed. Never mind the children - I'd like
the whole series for myself!

It simply sings to info-philes and visual learners alike. With
parallel timelines for all continents, developments on land, sky
and sea, more than a thousand illustrations, it is a superlative
mastery of design and research, a treat to eye and brain alike.
