After studying the history of everything at Goldsmiths College, Simon Mugford worked at the Science Museum making paper aeroplanes and setting fire to hydrogen balloons.

Despite being a fully-grown man, his favourite subjects include dinosaurs, robots, rockets, loud music and Star Wars. An Ipswich Town fan since they won the FA Cup in 1978 (it's true - look it up) he lives in Kent with his wife, daughter, and a cat with two names.

Roger Priddy's passion for educating children through fun, informative and engaging books has led him to create some of publishing's most enduring and successful non-fiction early learning books.

Roger lives in London with his three children, who have been the inspiration behind many of his best publishing ideas.
