Michael Bright
Michael Bright is a freelance author and scriptwriter who was previously an executive producer with the BBC Natural History Unit. He is the author of over 90 books on natural history, natural sciences, conservation and the environment, including many on sharks.
Hannah Bailey studied illustration at Brighton University, graduating in 2010. Her illustrations begin with pencil sketches that are traced and each tiny shape or segment hand-cut into a stencil. She then uses vibrant inks to fill the shapes with texture and colour, digitalises the elements and rearranges them into a final composition. Hannah is inspired by the natural world, growing things and history.
