Martin Brown is the cartoonist illustrator of the hugely successful Horrible Histories series.
He trained to be an art teacher in his home town of Melbourne before working as a stage-hand in the television studios of the ABC. Then, following many Australian footsteps abroad, Martin ended up in London where his lifetime dream of becoming a cartoonist was realised.
After working on magazines and greetings cards, his drawing style and sense of humour found a home in children's books. He was eventually asked to team up with Terry Deary on a new project due to be called Horrible Histories. More than twenty-five years, sixty titles and twenty million copies sold later, their books have become a phenomenon, expanding into the award-winning BBC TV programme, exhibitions, games and stage shows.
More recently, Martin has illustrated Philip Pullman's New Cut Gang reissue and John McLay's Harry & Oats early reader titles. He has also written and illustrated his own fun non-fiction series for children, Lesser Spotted Animals.
Martin lives with his family and a shaggy grey lurcher called Flint in the gorgeous Dorset countryside.
