About the Authors
Born in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, Ralph Whitlock was a farmer, broadcaster, journalist and author. Over the course of his life, Whitlock wrote over one hundred books, including both children’s and non-fiction, penning some of which under different pseudonyms. Much of Whitlock’s writing was influenced by his conservationism and his farm upbringing. His knowledge on farming, forestry as well as sustainability aided him in the writing of many of his non-fiction books. Whitlock’s love of the land also inspired him to write several books about British country life and its history, examining the traditions, practices, and folklore of his ancestors.
Rowynn Ellis is a full-time illustrator, author, and researcher of mythozoology from North Wales, U.K, and their fantastic work is inspired by fantasy, legend, and Welsh culture. Their artwork has been exhibited across the U.K at numerous Comic Cons, solo exhibitions, and three successful Kickstarter campaigns, including Welsh Monsters and Mythical Beasts, the precursor to this book.
Neil Christopher is an educator, author, and filmmaker. He first moved to the North in 1997 to help start a high school program in Resolute Bay, Nunavut. It was those students who first introduced Neil to the mythical inhabitants from traditional Inuit stories. The time spent in Resolute Bay changed the course of Neil’s life. Since that first experience in the Arctic, Nunavut has been the only place he has been able to call home. Neil has worked with many community members to record and preserve traditional Inuit stories. Together with his colleague, Louise Flaherty, and his brother, Danny Christopher, Neil started a small publishing company in Nunavut called Inhabit Media Inc. The company has since been working to promote Northern stories and authors.
