About the Author

Emma Trithart grew up in Michigan, but received her degree in Illustration from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Her favourite things in life are blankets, drawing flowers, drinking coffee and eating good cheese on a cracker with some pepper jam. Emma currently lives in Los Angeles. Sandra Lawrence wears two writing-hats: as a journalist, writing for newspapers and magazines such as the Daily and Sunday Telegraph, Marie Claire and History Revealed; and as an author, often focusing on heritage, history and folklore. She loves collecting stories from all over the world and finding out how different countries celebrate big events. Sandra lives in London, and spends much of her time rootling out weird and secret treasures the city has hidden over the past two millennia.
