Tom Tit

Writing under the pen name Tom Tit, Arthur Good was a French engineer, science educator, author, and caricaturist born in 1853 and died in 1928. He became best known for showing readers how science could be entertaining, approachable, and part of ordinary life.

His most famous work grew out of weekly pieces published in L'Illustration under the title La Science Amusante (Amusing Science). These articles were later collected into books and widely translated, helping generations of readers discover simple experiments, tricks, and demonstrations they could try at home.

What still makes his work appealing is its spirit of curiosity. Instead of treating science as distant or difficult, he presented it as something hands-on, surprising, and fun.
