Born in Lancashire, UK, David Macaulay moved to Bloomfield, New Jersey at the age of eleven, says Wikipedia.
At the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) he received a bachelor's degree in architecture. He spent his fifth year at RISD in the European Honors Program, studying in Rome, Herculaneum and Pompeii.
Macaulay's books have sold more than two million copies in the United States, been translated into a dozen languages, and been widely praised.
Time magazine said of his work, "What [Macaulay] draws, he draws better than any other pen-and-ink illustrator in the world". His numerous awards include the MacArthur Fellows Program award and the Caldecott Medal.
