loves learning about anything and everything. She has lived in
China, attempted to create the perfect aquarium biotope, studied
Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at Cambridge University, and can hit
an archery target from 100 feet away. Lan has always loved
collecting knowledge and as many weird facts as possible, so
working for Usborne really is a dream job!
