Delta and the Lost City

Anna Fargher was raised in a creative hub on the Suffolk coast by an artist and a ballet teacher. She read English Literature at Goldsmiths before working in the British art world and opening her own gallery. She wrote her first book, The Umbrella Mouse, on her iPhone notepad during her daily commute on the London Underground, and it was selected as Waterstones Book of the Month. She is also the author of The Fire Cats of London and Delta and the Lost City. She splits her time between London and Suffolk where she is often found exploring the coastline and marshlands under the huge East Anglian skies.David Dean is based in a nondescript town halfway between Manchester and the Peak District National Park, where he lives with his two cats and a lot of books. He has been working as an illustrator for many years, having graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a BA in Illustration and an MA in Communication Design. Now, amongst lots of other illustrations, David has created covers for around 140 books.

With exciting twists and turns in every chapter, this is the best adventure set during the explosion of Vesuvius since Robert Harris’ Pompeii, and Delta, who is courageous, loyal and loving, is one of the finest animal protagonists to appear in children’s literature in recent times.
