À propos de l'auteur

Codex Regius is the pen name and label of two authors from Wiesbaden, Germany, and Ljubljana, Slovenia. One is a university engineer of chemistry and has spent her time trying to convey the wonders of the Periodic Table to mostly unreceptive students. The other, a graduate of physical engineering, has been working as a technical editor before the couple set up a freelance translation business and their own publishing company. Today they are working from home, which the children find very convenient when they return from school. The two authors are married to each other and still trying to find a common language.
