Rodolphe Töpffer
Rodolphe Töpffer was the son of painter Wolfgang Adam Töpffer, a German emigrant who had settled in Geneva, Switzerland. Unfortunately, due to an eye defect, Rodolphe was initially unable to pursue a career in visual arts like his father. Instead, he devoted himself to literature, writing short texts such as 'La Bibliothèque de Mon Oncle' (1832), 'Nouvelles Genevoises' (1841) and especially, 'Voyages en zig-zag' (1843), accounts of his hiking trips in Switzerland. Töpffer studied in Paris and became a teacher, working in several schools in Geneva, and becoming titular professor of rhetoric at the Geneva Academy of Belles-Lettres. In 1825, he founded a boarding school for boys.

She is best known for her long association with The Guardian, for which she has drawn the series Gemma Bovery (2000) and Tamara Drewe (2005–06), both later published as books.

Julia Lyon
I used to interview kids from around the world as a newspaper reporter. Now I write books for them, books I hope will inspire them to change the world. My debut, "A Dinosaur Named Ruth" (Simon & Schuster/Margaret K. McElderry Books) tells the story of a girl who found dinosaur bones in her own backyard. You can find a free teacher's guide on my website. I love connecting with kids and visiting schools. Let's meet!
