About the author

Lucy Claire Dunbar

Lucy Dunbar is an illustrator and designer based in Oxfordshire who came to prominence by honouring the likes of The Queen and Matthew Perry with art drawn from behind, always leaving the story open for her viewers to interpret for themselves.

Having been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in her early twenties, Lucy temporarily lost her sight. After she’d regained it, she made a promise to herself to draw every day. From that commitment, came her hugely popular online success. She now has an established and fast-growing social media following with 440k followers on Instagram and has appeared on Radio 4's Saturday Live and Lorraine Kelly. This is her first book.
