About the author

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.
