About the Author
Richard A. Jones is a nationally acclaimed entomologist, a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society and of the Linnean Society of London, and past president of the British Entomological and Natural History Society. He has been fascinated by wildlife since a childhood exploring the South Downs and Sussex Weald in search of plants and insects. He now writes about insects, wildlife, and the environment for publications such as BBC Wildlife, Gardeners' World, the Guardian, the Sunday Times, and Countryfile, and makes regular radio appearances. Sara Boccaccini Meadows is a print designer and illustrator living in Brooklyn, New York. Originally from the rolling hills of the Peak District in England, she graduated from Leeds College of Art. Since arriving in the U.S. almost 10 years ago, she has been splitting her time between working as a textile designer, illustrator, and artist. She takes inspiration from nature and the tiny details in everyday life to create unique and quirky print illustrations. Her materials include watercolor, gouache, and ink pen. In her spare time, Meadows enjoys cycling, hiking, and exploring overgrown gardens. She documents her life and travels in little pocket sketchbooks that have become a valuable source of inspiration for her work.
