About the Author
Mark Tanner grew up in Liverpool, where his father was constantly making things. Some of the things he made, such as a coffee pot stand fashioned from an old coat-hanger, Mark still has. Others, such as the bird feeding table designed to sit on top of their rotary washing line, he doesn’t. Brought up in such an environment, Mark developed an appreciation and affection for a particular type of inventor’s mindset from a young age. Mark now lives quietly in Lancaster with his partner and daughter.
