Dave Shephard moved down to the south coast of England to study illustration at Brighton College many years ago. A love of drawing and sea swimming made the town a natural fit. Since then, he’s worked in the wonderfully varied and ever-evolving world of illustration. He specializes in books for teens and younger readers, as well as graphic novels.
Arthur Conan Doyle (22 May 1859–7 July 1930) was a Scottish physician and writer, most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered a major innovation in the field of crime fiction. He was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction.
