Terry was born in Sunderland, England, in 1946 and now lives in County Durham, in the North-east of England. Terry's father (Billy) was a butcher in Hendon, Sunderland, and his mother (Freda) was the manageress of a clothing shop. He worked many years in his father's butcher shop as a boy. It was better than school where he was beaten, bullied and abused by his loathsome teachers. Martin was born and raised in Melbourne but took the opportunity to turn his love of cartooning into a career when in the UK, working on magazines, greetings cards and children’s books where his drawing style and sense of humour found a home. In 1992 Martin teamed up with Terry Deary for a new book called The Terrible Tudors – the first of the Horrible Histories series. Twenty years, sixty titles and twenty-five million copies sold later, their books have gone global, with spin-off games, stage and TV shows, His own, long awaited foray into writing, Lesser Spotted Animals, was published in 2016. A fun, non-fiction book about the world’s other animals.
