    RALPH STEADMAN is a world-renowned cartoonist and caricaturist. Originally labelled a 'gonzo' artist, he burst into the national consciousness by providing the illustrations for Hunter S.

Since then, Ralph has provided illustrations for collections of poetry by Ted Hughes, iAlice in Wonderlandi and iAnimal Farmi, and has even designed a set of British stamps. Alongside a host of illustration credits, Steadman's previous books include iGonzo- The Arti, iDoodaaa: The Balletic Art of Gavin Tivingei, and iThe Joke's Over, For No Good Reasoni, a documentary about his life and work, was released in 2014. br brCERI LEVY is a renowned film-maker whose works include iBananazi, a documentary about the inner machinations of the group Gorillaz. Ceri has immersed himself within the world of nature since he started filming his documentary iThe Bird Effecti several years ago. The natural world affected him so much that he upped and left the city to live in the wilds of of the Rutland countryside where he now writes, sits under trees and marvels at the landscape he has become a part of. This is the third book he has written with Ralph Steadman, following on from iExtinct Boidsi and iNextinctioni.
