Climb Paris's Eiffel Tower, explore Cairo's ancient pyramids, wander the busy streets of New Delhi and see the lights of Shanghai in this whirlwind tour of the world's most beautiful cities.

Print-maker James Brown, the talent behind international bestseller A World of Information, has rendered each city in bold, bright colours, with fascinating facts about the history and culture incorporated into the contemporary designs.

London, New York and Tokyo have never looked so stylish or so alive.

  • James Brown's illustrations are stylish and contemporary, but also recall charming vintage travel posters. 
  • Quirky historical and cultural facts are cleverly incorporated into the designs for each city.

James Brown

James Brown filled in a careers questionnaire when he was 13 which told him he was definitely going to be a teacher and an illustrator - and it was right! James studied English Literature in Sheffield and Stockholm before taking up Creative Writing at St Andrews University.

He was one of five illustrators to win the SCBWI's Undiscovered Voices 2014 competition, and since then James has been balancing his job as an English teacher with writing and illustrating books for children of all ages.

James grew up in Nottingham where he now lives with his wife, daughters and a cat called Peg. With My Daddy is his second picture book for Macmillan Children's Books.
