Paul Mason (Author) Paul's books cover a wide range of subjects, from whether the Romans ate crisps to how to build the world's best skatepark, but he writes mostly about sport. Whether you are interested in swimming, cycling, snowboarding, surfing or another sport, Paul has probably written something that will inspire you to get out and give it a try. Paul writes in a shack by the beach, which he shares with his one-eyed surf dog, Daisy. Fran Bueno (Illustrator) Fran was born and lives in Santiago de Compostela. Since he was a little kid he has loved comic books. He was reading El Jabato at age eight, a comic book that his father always bought him, and in that exact moment he decided to become an artist - he says he even saw a mystic light coming from the window. He is thankful for his parents' support of his art. He studied at art school, and loves travelling with his wife and kids. He loves books, music, movies, and TV shows. If he wasn't an illustrator he would probably be lecturing people about how he achieved living without ever having to 'work'.
