Brown was born and raised in Melbourne but took the opportunity to turn his love of cartooning into a career when working in the UK on magazines, greetings cards and children’s. In 1992, he teamed up with Terry Deary for a new book called The Terrible Tudors – the first of the Horrible Histories series. Thirty years, 60 titles and 25 million copies sold later, their books have gone global, with spin-off games, stage and television shows. Brown is also author and illustrator of the Lesser Spotted Animals series.
