Doing a little good too...

A percentage of profits from the book will be donated to a local Lincolnshire wildlife charity, to help protect the real-life wanderers who inspired the story.

 

...because if two animals can accidentally unite a whole city for a minute, the least we can do is look after them.

Hi! I’m Eleanor...

I run Number 75 Design, a branding & design studio in the heart of Lincoln.

 

Most days I’m helping indie businesses and change-makers tell their story.

 

But this time, a fox and an otter handed me one I just had to draw.

 

You can usually find me...

 

  • sketching or writing in cafés around the city.

  • bringing brands to life for local businesses from my Bailgate studio.

  • or quietly crying over wholesome wildlife content like the rest of you.
