 About Martin Handford, creator of
WHERES WALDO?
I cant tell you how pleased I am that
Waldo has taken on a life of his own,
says Martin Handford, the man behind
the mind-boggling books that take a
bespectacled fellow around the world
and back in time as readers race to find
him. Id like to inspire children, to open
their minds to explore subjects more, to
just be aware of whats going on around
them. Id like them to see wonder in
places that might not have occurred to
them.

Certainly Martin Handford himself was

keenly aware of the world around him as
a child. My earliest influences, he says,
were epic films and playing with toy soldiers. I attempted to recapture the
excitement in my drawings, which started as crowds of crude stick figures.
This obsession followed him into adulthood, when for a time he made a
living as a freelance illustrator specializing in drawing crowd scenes. The
turning point came when Martin Handford was asked to create a book
showcasing his singular talent and the character Waldo was born to provide
a link between each scene. Thats who Waldo isan afterthought, he
says. As it turns out, the fans were more interested in the character than in
the crowd scenes.

To say that people were interested in the red-and-white-shirted Waldo is

something of an understatement. The series held the record for the fastest
selling childrens book series in history before Harry Potter, and Waldo and
his books have since gone on to wander through more than thirty countries.
From the original Wheres Waldo? to Wheres Waldo? The Great Picture
Hunt!, the Waldo books have sold a phenomenal 67 million copies.
