About the Author
Nick Crane is a writer and well-loved television presenter. In 1992–3, he walked 6,214 miles across Europe, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea, an experience which he describes in his book Clear Waters Rising. Among his many other projects is Mercator: the Man Who Mapped the Planet, the definitive biography of Gerard Mercator, the 16th-century map maker who invented the atlas. As a child, Nick spent many hours exploring the Norfolk countryside with a bicycle and a map; he has been traveling the world ever since. He lives with his family in London, England.
David Dean is a full-time illustrator who is enjoying his mission of traveling the world from the comfort of his own studio. Known for his exotic and colorful work, David works in a room surrounded by books from many different cultures, from which he finds inspiration. In his spare time, David enjoys walking the countryside near his house in Cheshire, England, taking photographs of the things he sees.

ShmreeReviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 20135.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful atlas
This is an absolutely gorgeous book. Full of beautiful illustrations and information. It is very attractive to look at. I love the little "information tabs" that you lift up to read. I imagine my little daughter will adore this when she is a little bit older. For now, her Mum loves reading it - I'm a bit atlas fan. Nick Crane didn't disappoint on this one.
