'More serious historians will relish Spot the Mistake: Land of Long Ago.. This large, lively book taps into children’s delight in gloating over grownup errors, encouraging critical scrutiny along the way.' * The Guardian *
'With its beautifully embossed hard cover and cartoonlike illustrations…I found my 13-year-old and her two friends huddled over it, pointing to the pictures and (I swear) saying "This is cool!"' * New York Times *
'This is fun' * The Bookseller *

Amanda Wood began her career in illustration at the Natural History Museum and went on to be the founding Editor and Publisher of Templar for more than 30 years. In her time there, she published and nurtured numerous Greenaway winners, and edited and wrote groundbreaking series such as The Ologies, which have sold over 19 million-copies worldwide. Today she writes and runs her own small press from her home in Surrey.
Mike Jolley studied Graphic Design and Illustration before going on to work for Templar for 30 years, as a designer and then art director. He had a three-year 'break' working in an advertising agency in Amsterdam, but soon returned home to both the UK and to Templar. He most enjoys working on projects with Amanda, and with the amazing host of talented illustrators he has been lucky enough to work with over the years. He is currently semi-retired and lives on the Sussex Downs overlooking the sea.
FRANCES CASTLE has been working as a freelance illustrator since 2005, after beginning her career in the computer games industry. She is inspired by comic book art and vintage children's books from the 50's and 60's, and loves good charity shop finds of old magazines, books and packaging.| SKU | Unavailable |
