About this title

About the Author

Ben Rothery is a detail-obsessed illustrator from Norwich, via Cape Town. He combines multiple processes to create intricate and delicate illustrations and repeating patterns, full of fine detail and vibrant colour.

Much of Ben's work is inspired or informed by his love of nature - he grew up wanting variously to be a shark, dinosaur or David Attenborough crossed with Indiana Jones, but settled upon illustration as a compromise that allowed him to bring those fantasies to life on paper.

Ben works from a small but perfectly formed studio in London, which he shares with an unnecessarily large collection of very sharp pencils.

From the Back Cover

From the bearded vulture, which is the only animal on the planet whose diet consists exclusively of bones, to the miscroscopic tardigrade that can survive for up to 30 years without food or water, this book focusses on our planet's most bizarre and extraordinary beasts.
