Lloyd Spencer Davis

Lloyd is the author of Penguin: a season in the life of the Adélie penguin, for which he received the PEN (NZ) Best First Book Award for Nonfiction; The Plight of the Penguin, which was NZ Post's New Zealand Children's Book of the Year in 2002, as well as the winner of the nonfiction category at the same awards.
His book, the Smithsonian Q&A Penguins: a book commissioned by the Smithsonian Institution that provides a complete story on penguins in the form of questions and answers, which Lloyd has artfully arranged so that one answer typically leads to the next question – allowing the book to be read from cover to cover, rather like a novel, while still functioning as a reference book.

Most recently, Lloyd has launched a revised digital version of his award-winning book, The Plight of the Penguin, for viewing on an iPad (buy from Apple’s iBookstore). His new book, Professor Penguin: discovery and adventure with penguins, has just been published by Penguin Random House and is available on Amazon and the Apple iBookstore.
