  Autorentext
  Lucy Dunbar is an illustrator and designer based in Oxfordshire who came to prominence by honouring the likes of The Queen and Matthew Perry with art drawn from behind, always leaving the story open for her viewers to interpret for themselves.

  Having been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes from the age of two, Lucy temporarily lost her sight in her early twenties. After she'd regained it, she made a promise to herself to draw every day. From that commitment, came her hugely popular online success. She now has an established and fast-growing social media following with 559k followers on Instagram and has appeared on Radio 4's Saturday Live and Lorraine Kelly. Her first book The Book of Gifts was a Sunday Times bestseller.
