Sue started researching for the Crafty Histories series after a family holiday to Egypt. Having been useless at history at school, Sue was suddenly fascinated by the subject. It was particularly enjoyable researching for the Prehistoric Activity Book as it made Sue feel very young! Sue still can't walk down a pebble drive without looking for fossils.|Steve trained in animation at the RCA before working in advertising and drawing a strip cartoon for the Financial Times.
