Author Bio
The Author Eve Devereux has published numerous books - both fiction and non-fiction. She developed her interest in flags as a child. Living in a coastal city she would spend many hours watching vessels from faraway lands arriving in the harbour, and pestered her mother, then a historian of cartography, to tell her what their flags meant.
