Both educational and beautiful Anna's unique picture book shows the character of these animals beyond their familiar forms.

Both informative and visually stunning, this beautiful introduction to the animal world will sit alongside the best of Faber's heritage publishing as well as other masterpieces of illustration such as William Grill's Shackleton.

Author description

Anna is an artist and illustrator. Her rural upbringing, in Dumfriesshire, southwest Scotland, introduced her to flora and fauna, which alongside her love of interiors, fabrics and wallpaper have shaped her work. Since exploring these influences at Edinburgh College of Art, Anna has grown her trademark style of colour and humour, from her studios in London and Edinburgh.
