Painting of David Salariya by Jonathan Salariya

David Salariya, portrait by Jonathan Salariya, 2000

David Salariya has a flair for bookmaking and an eye for detail. He has spent a lifetime conjuring up worlds for children - dinosaurs that dance and gladiators who squirm. With a forensic eye and a flair for the blackly comic, he has smuggled gore, panic, and astonishing facts into classrooms for decades. Children approve, parents are and teachers are traumatised.
