 David Ó Druaidh (pronounced O'Drew)
                              has spent most of his life living in London, and
                              has worked mostly in IT and on Internet related
                              projects. He has enjoyed a long interest in
                              science and astronomy, and has spoken at a number
                              of conferences around the world in his capacity as
                              an amateur with an interest in the field.  His fascination with astronomy and
                              cosmology includes an interest in related
                              archaeology and mythology, hence his idea to
                              capture some of the myths and legends relating to
                              the planets in a children's book series. There are
                              a number of astronomy books available which are
                              aimed at children, but none he is aware of that
                              personify the planets according to their roles in
                              folklore and ancient history. >> Amazon
