About the Author

Francisco Llorca is a historian, bookseller and publisher, who has dedicated his life to the discovery and sharing of stories. After completing his PhD, he and his friends set up Tipos Infames, an indie bookstore and diverse cultural hub in the heart of Madrid. Francisco is now based in Barcelona where he is the co-founder of Las Afueras, a publishing house which seeks out hidden gems and unheard voices from across the globe.

Montse Galbany is an illustrator and graphic designer living in the city of Granollers in central Catalonia. Having discovered a passion for art at an early age, she studied graphic design at university and, since graduating, has illustrated a number of books with her bold and eye-catching style. When she isn't drawing, Montse explores the world in a campervan with her partner Marc and their mixed shepherd dog Mel.
