Martin Brown

Martin was born and raised in Melbourne but took the opportunity to turn his love of cartooning into a career when in the UK, working on magazines, greetings cards and children’s books where his drawing style and sense of humour found a home. In 1992 Martin teamed up with Terry Deary for a new book called The Terrible Tudors – the first of the Horrible Histories series. Twenty years, sixty titles and twenty-five million copies sold later, their books have gone global, with spin-off games, stage and TV shows, His own, long awaited foray into writing, Lesser Spotted Animals, was published in 2016. A fun, non-fiction book about the world’s other animals.
