About the Author/作者介绍： Caroline Taggart was born in London of Scottish parents, spent her childhood in New Zealand and went to university in Sheffield. Confused for some time, she has now lived in Pimlico for 25 years and thinks of herself as a Londoner, but continues to change allegiance whenever it suits her, particularly during the rugby season.
She has worked in publishing for nearly 30 years, the last 18 of them as a freelance editor of non-fiction. She has edited innumerable natural history titles, notably Jonathan Scott’s Big Cat Diary books and the tie-in to the BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs, as well as books on gardening, cookery, health, witchcraft, pop music, the Blitz, the D-Day landings, the workings of the House of Commons and the English language. She has also written a handbook for mature students and an encyclopedia of dogs and is the editor of Writer’s Market UK 2009. She has forgotten at least 90% of everything she has ever known about any of these subjects, which makes her an ideal person to write this book.
Caroline Taggart出生於蘇格蘭的倫敦，童年時和父母一起居住在新澤西，曾就讀於英格蘭設菲爾德的一所大學。雖然她在皮姆利科已經生活了25年之多，但是仍然認為自己是一個倫敦人。Caroline Taggart在出版社工作接近20年，其中有18年都作為非小說編輯的自由職業者。她編輯過不計其數的歷史題材的作品，最為熟知的是喬納森•斯科特的《大貓日記》，與BBC配套書籍《與恐龍同行》，除此之外還有關於園藝、烹飪、健康、巫術、流行音樂、倫敦大轟炸、二戰中盟國的諾曼地登陸、下議院的運作還有英語類書籍。她自己撰寫過一本成年學生手冊，還有一本關於狗的百科全書，Writer’s Market UK 2009也是由Caroline Taggart擔任編輯。但是後來至少90%的關於這些科目的知識她都遺忘了，這便是她編寫此系列的初衷。
