This book is dedicated to Lilly, the love of my life, who provided me with the inspiration, the energy and the brains needed to finish it.
Thanks to my superb commissioning editor Anna Watson and to Nina Cosford, who put us together. My gratitude also goes to Thaddeus Zupančič, Christopher Beanland and Mark Ovenden, as their extensive knowledge proved invaluable. Thanks too to Glenn Howard for helping with the design. And finally, I’d like to thank to my mum, Marcelik and Vivi for their continued support and overall excellence.
