How to Steal Fire - The Myths of Creativity Exposed, The Truths of Creativity Explained

Stephen Bayley (Author)
In the 1970s, Terence Conran plucked Stephen from the obscurity of provincial academe to do his good works. One result was The Boilerhouse Project, promoting design in London's V&A, which became the most successful gallery of the eighties. Another result was the influential Design Museum. Stephen has since become one of the world's best-known commentators on design and popular culture.
Roger Mavity (Author)
Roger first learnt about creativity as a director of the admired French Gold Abbott advertising agency, before founding his own ad agency, Mavity Gilmore Jaume, whose clients included Honda cars, Trans World Airways and Burberry. He was then CEO of Sir Terence Conran¿s group of design-led businesses for several years, before starting a new career as a writer and photographer. His books include the global bestseller Life¿s a Pitch, also co-authored with Stephen Bayley, and his photography has been exhibited in London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam.

About the author

Stephen Bayley was the person for whom the term "design guru" was coined, something he accepts with what he likes to think of as self-deprecating irony. After a short and blameless period in provincial academe, he joined Terence Conran in an attempt to popularise design. This resulted in The Boilerhouse Project in London's V&A which became the most successful gallery of the eighties. The Boilerhouse evolved into the unique Design Museum which Mrs Thatcher opened in 1989, after some finger wagging and insisting it should not be called a "museum". During this period he learnt a lot about the perversity of genius and the absurdity of ambition.

Stephen Bayley has written many books and hundreds of articles which have shaped the popular understanding of design. This is his first attempt at fiction. He is Chairman of The Royal Fine Art Commission Trust, an honorary visiting professor at the Liverpool University School of Architecture and a Chevalier de l'Ordre Des Arts et Des Lettres, France's highest artistic accolade.
