Iszi Lawrence is a comedian, podcaster and history presenter. She is the co-host of BBC Radio 4s Your Place or Mine and hosts a number of podcasts including the British Museum Untold and Terrible Lizards. Iszi is a dark blue belt in Japanese style Jiu Jitsu so she also spends time in the week helping to teach both short people (7-11 year olds) and grown-ups how to punch her in the face. She dabbles in illustration, plays the guitar, likes cooking, dinosaurs and enjoys keeping fit. She lives in Reading with a poet and two cats. Rebecca Bagley is a freelance illustrator and book designer. She began illustrating by self-publishing and selling short graphic novels about robots and bears. After graduating in 2014, she worked for a short time in childrens publishing as a designer and now draws full time. Her work captures little tales of silliness that centre around characters and simple pleasures. Rebecca is based in Bath and is sure to always make time for baking.
