About the Author
Despite finding time to write historical novels and The Dangerous Book for Boys, Conn Iggulden is in some ways better known as a trainer of Tollins. His Tollin troupe, "Small and Mighty," are famous in Tasmania, where they often play to packed houses. "It used to be just a hobby," he says, "but when youve seen a display of Tollin synchronized flying, you realize its your lifes work. Also, they can be transported in shoe boxes, so its pretty cheap to get around."
