About the author

Victor Ambrus (born László Győző Ambrus, 19 August 1935) was a British illustrator of history, folk tale, and animal story books. He also became known from his appearances on the Channel 4 television archaeology series Time Team, on which he visualised how sites under excavation may have once looked. Ambrus was an Associate of the Royal College of Art and a Fellow of both the Royal Society of Arts and the Royal Society of Painters, Etchers and Engravers. He was also a patron of the Association of Archaeological Illustrators and Surveyors up until its merger with the Institute for Archaeologists in 2011.

Reviews

Beautiful drawings, not much instruction but there's much to learn from observing his line work and subtle shading

"[A drawing] should be carefully composed." - V. Ambrus

With the author/illustrator born in Budapest, Hungary, it's no wonder there'd be a Bulgarian translation of this book.
