CONN IGGULDEN

Conn Iggulden nasceu em Londres, e apesar de arrumar um tempinho para escrever romances históricos e O livro perigosos para garotos, é mais conhecido por treinar tollins. Sua trupe, chamada “Pequenos e Poderosos”, é muito famosa na Tasmânia, onde suas apresentações lotam as casas de espetáculos. “Costumava ser apenas um hobby”, diz Conn, “mas quando você vê um voo sincronizado de tollins perfeito, sabe que esse é um trabalho para vida inteira. Além disso, eles cabem em caixas de sapato, o que facilita bastante o translado da equipe”.
