Dive into the
story of the Argonaut Queen and the woman who studied them, Jeanne
Villepreux-Power.

Dive into the
oceans — and into the depths of history — with the Argonaut Queen, an expertly-told
story that weaves together the marine science of these fascinating creatures
and the woman who we have to thank for it, Jeanne Villepreux-Power, one of the
earliest studiers of this subspecies of octopus and the many features that make
it so unique.

Though
Villepreux-Power’s scientific illustrations were lost to the seas in a
shipwreck, this book pays homage to them through exquisitely-rendered,
real-to-life drawings of the creature she dedicated her life to.

L P Hansen writes her stories in a cottage by the sea in sunny New Zealand. She decorates her garden with smooth driftwood and shiny abalone or pāua shells from the nearby beach. The first paper nautilus shell Linda found is an Argonauta nodosa. She found it at Tūhua or Mayor Island, a wildlife refuge in New Zealand’s North Island. Marlo Garnsworthy is an author, illustrator, editor, and Antarctic science communicator. When she’s not making books, you’ll find her paddling her kayak, hiking a trail, having adventures in far-flung places, or dreaming of Antarctica. She lives in a National Park on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA, with her husband, two cats, and lots of wildlife.
