A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Martin Handford, the man behind the mind-boggling Waldo books, began his career as a freelance illustrator specializing in drawing crowd scenes for numerous clients. The turning point came when he was asked to create a book showcasing his impressive talent, and the character Waldo was born - to provide a link between each scene. "That’s who Waldo is, an afterthought,” Martin Handford says. "As it turns out, the fans were more interested in the character than in the crowd scenes." To say that people were interested in the bespectacled Waldo is something of an understatement: since Waldo’s creation, he and his books have wandered through some 28 countries. "I can’t tell you how pleased I am that Waldo has taken on a life of his own," Martin Handford says. "I’d like to inspire children to open their minds to explore subjects more, to be aware of what’s going on around them. I’d like them to see wonder in places that might not have occurred to them."
