Author's Biography
Kate Evans is an active environmental campaigner who has been marrying words and images for political effect for ten years. Her award-winning comic reportage is characterised by an ironic, self-deprecating view of the impossibility of perfection in an imperfect world. Her previous books include Funny Weather, also published by Myriad, and Copse, a cartoon history of the roads' protest movement.
