About the Author
Mark and Peter Campbell grew up surrounded by a menagerie of animals which included turtles, lizards, frogs, a magpie and the obligatory dogs and cats. Purrfect Tales is based on their experiences watching how cats take command of the household subjugating all other animals to their will – largely through controlling their human masters. Mark is a successful lawyer and spends his free time photographing wild animals. In search of great shots he has travelled around the world from the Savannahs of Africa, the jungles of Amazonia to the frozen glaciers of Alaska and Greenland. He has visited Europe but only unwillingly as the opportunities for wildlife photography are limited. Peter is a translator, journalist and PR consultant. He enjoys fencing and sailing and does his best to live parallel lives in New Zealand and Europe. For more information visit his website at www.PeterDCampbell.com.
