Tom studied Illustration at Falmouth and ended up staying in the south west, first working at a regional newspaper where he was a satirical cartoonist, then as a freelance writer and illustrator. Illustration came late to Tom and he didn't really get going until he was in his thirties.

This is a hilarious, laugh out loud story, you don’t know what madcap plot twist is coming along next. ~Primary Times

I learned quite a lot about historical characters from the book… I’ve now decided to ask for a metal detector for Christmas as I hope to find buried armour and other historic items! ~Hugo (Age 7), National Geographic Kids
