Arthur and his friends are on a class visit to the local museum. While his friends dash about, Arthur takes time to inspect all the interesting things around him. One of those interesting things is a glass case housing a strange looking creature known as The Curiosity.
As Arthur continues his visit to the Museum, the reader catches glimpses of The Curiosity who has escaped his glass case and is now following Arthur about.
When Arthur leaves the museum, he must leave his new friend behind… or does he?
Lucinda Gifford was brought up in Scotland and originally intended to become an architect, studying Architecture in the historic surroundings of Edinburgh and then Bath. However, her love of drawing buildings was cancelled out at the time by an overwhelming disinterest in construction sites, and so she went on to work in advertising and design instead. After many enjoyable years making print ads and websites look attractive, Lucinda now lives in northern Melbourne – illustrating, designing and sometimes writing from a cosy studio in her home. She aims to create illustration with humour, engaging characters and twiddly architectural bits. Lucinda is the inaugural winner of The Five Mile Press Illustrator Award in 2014.
