About the maker

James Driver has exhibited with the Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers, the Society of Wood Engravers, and at a variety of small galleries all along the South Coast. He was part of the Bite exhibition at the Mall Galleries in the year of the London Olympics.

He has written over twenty-five books — many of which are children's non-fiction for Oxford University Press — and has contributed to a host of magazines, including Country Living, Garden History, History Today, Hortus and Waterlog. His latest book is a short study of the great Victorian gardener, Charles Green.

His most recent work is influenced by the marginalia of medieval art and the Alice books of Lewis Carroll.
